Is there any easy way to change the baudrate of a Dynamixel using the CM5 and its serial cable? Using Robot Terminal, perhaps?
I just finished building the circuit to connect the USART on a SunSPOT controller to the Dynamixel's data bus, but just discovered that there's no apparent or easy way to get the SunSPOT to use anything besides a standard baudrate of 56k or less (its USART is REALLY hosted by an Atmel Mega88 and there's no permanent reason why it couldn't clear UBRR0L and UBRR0H to support it... but I want to play with it
right now, not
n days or weeks from now when/if support for 1mbps serial gets added to the firmware).
I know I could build another AVR circuit to connect to the dynamixel bus at 1mbps and set the baudrate lower, but I'm trying to eliminate as many independent variables as possible while trying to get the SunSPOT to communicate with the Dynamixels.
