Hi,

I have a doubt here...is it possible to control AX and RX serise Dynamixel servos together using USB2Dynamixel?....Will there be any issues doing it?

The two servos use a different bus architecture, although the protocol is the same. This means that you could run two busses, one for RX and one for AX and either have a level converter (RX is RS-485, AX is TTL serial) or two separate serial interfaces on your controller.
