How can sensors be read from PC with usb2dynamixel or toss?

I have tried it, the "monitoring way" but it doesn´t work , I have modified the read_write.c example. 
Next I will try another way, it's easier but I think it's less interesting, at least for me. A C program that receives the queries and answers them, but not using the dynamixel protocol. Something like the console CM-510 manage mode.

It works!
Well, at least I have managed to create a toss mode program, and then it has been very simple to create a "device mode" for CM-510.
Now I will clean up the code and write the "answers" with the sensors values
Finally I have used the new Robotis libraries.

but i'm at the limit of tsk possibilities and i will need some arrays when programming the CM510.
May be you can use the tsk program as only a connector , read/write from/to the sensors and servos to/from the PC.
this is what it try to do in fact, but there is a lot of datas to give to one actuator.
So, with 18 actuators + sensors, it is really difficult to have something reactive.
My ability to program firmware is near absolut 0,
i'm new in robotics and i'm learning c++ since i got my Premium but visual c++ is quite hard to master when you're a beginner, so it will be a long way for me to reach my goal which is to use my PC as a controller/'brain' for my bioloid.
Do you know any other programming language (Java, C#, ... )?
unfortunatly NO
if you have the same goal, then maybe we can join our efforts to get some results more quickly.
I usually use the PDA/PC as the brain. You can AntOne 2 and BudaOne as two examples in my youtube channel or website (spanish/english)
It's really impressive, i think i've some work to get at your knowledge level !
hasta la vista.
