Adding a button & driving relays?

[KikiTay]

Can I install an external button or drive a relay using bioloid dynamixel with RoboPlus task or Behaviour Control program?

I am working on a robot arm and I want it to run motion pages at the cue of an external button. I am also hoping to drive a relay which powers the electromagnet I installed at the tip of the arm.

I am currently using CM-5 and I've also got myself a CM-700 hoping it could do the job as there are multiple ports. But I can't seem to find the information I needed through online searches. Can somebody help me?

I am currently running a parallel wire out from the controller's physical button to an external button, but is there a better solution?

Please help! Thanks!

Thanks Ray!

I'm looking to simulate the touch button with a regualar switch, any idea what signal comes out from the touch button? Is it a simple TTL I/O?

Anybody has one to verify this? Appreciate! Thanks!
