some questions about bioloid

[korvin]

Hello)
I have a strong willing to start working with some robot...so far i found bioloid matching the best my interets.
But still i have several questions.
The main one - can bioloid be programmed "on the go" - i read that it can be programmed at CM-5 level, or, with missing CM-5 level - direct programming. so the question is if there is an opportunity to send controls at direct programming level while the robot is already operating.
And about this wireless conectivity - i've read about controlling it via bluetooth - do i get this option since the begining or should i by some extra modules?
If i made any mistakes in my understanding of bioloid opportunities - please correct me.
Thank you for your attention)
P.S. By the way - does anybody have used bioloid kit for sale?)

1) You can create programs for the CM-5

2) You can create programs for the PC (in almost any language) and communicate with the AX12+/AXS1 with:
- a serial cable and CM-5 in toss mode (the cheaper)
- the usb2dynamixel (the faster)
- by bluetooth with a BT to serial adapter and the CM-5 in toss mode (the easiest wireless)

There are other wireless options you can find here, at "Wireless Communications".


There is the ZIG-100 a "communication module for short distance" (Zigbee). But I have never used it.

Bioloid is a great kit. It seems to me slightly better than RoboBuilder, I thinks the servos and connection system from Bioloid are better. But I only have "tried" RoboBuilder a few minutes...
