Hello everybody
I'm new in this, i really need your help, the thing is I want to use Arduino-duemilanove with AX-12 dynamixel, I have no idea how to start it, could you help me. thanks

Check out the code for Arbotix.
I have this code working fine at 1Mbps on the Arduino with a simple ttl interface using 74AHC126.

Have you tried to search arduino+ax-12?

Here is one result that I think can help you

I am going to try this out with my arduino! Thanks for the links.

The biggest pain with the Arduino for AX12 is the single hardware USART on the basic models. This is resolved on the Arbotix and the larger Arduino Mega. At higher AX bus speeds, the hardware USART is a must, this is why the other code I posted moves the other lower speed control interface to the software serial, however this is not normally connected to the FTDI chip.

Also watch out for how you make the links to the AX Bus so the bootloader will still work.

After I get the Arduino working, I will then try out the Netduino.

Ouch ! .Net or not ! a whole new topic

I am really out of my depth here as I struggle to reconcile the productivity I get with C# and .Net, and the hands to the metal I get with Linux, C, and even assembler. Mono seems just a compromise.
