Hi all
My name is Pedro and have worked with Robosavvy for almost a year now. Some of you may already know me from the Robobuilder forum.
I think this is the first time I am starting a thread in the Bioloid forum
I am posting to announce we have a new forum for the Roboard and I have posted there sample code from the Roboard guys that shows how to interface the Roboard with the the Dynamixel bus / servos.
The thread with the code is here
http://robosavvy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3648
Just a quick intro to the board:
The Roboard is a full blown pc (with an x86 processor) with small form factor and low power usage and can be used to replace the CM5 and talk directly to the Dynamixel bus.
It is a giant leap in processing power for your Bioloid and I believe it is also compatible with the code developed for Dynamixel SDK and all other SDKs available for the USB2Dynamixel adapter.
Please note it may require a few changes to the routines that send and receive the packets but other than that all high level routines should be compatible.
More details and videos of the board are available here
http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info ... cts_id/521
Additional to the leap in processing power the board also offers a lot of extensibility features such as 8 A/D ports, SPI/I2C interface, USB, SOUND in and out, lan, etc.
If already own a Bioloid purchased at Robosavvy we can offer an additional 5% discount when you purchase a Roboard Starter Pack.
Just contact me or sales@robosavvy.com
Best Regards
Pedro
