New Robotis Website ?

[pakkua80]

It seems that they are revamping the website and there is SUPER package with aluminium casing with zigbee, 2 CM-5 and a camera and they are going to sell the USBtoDynamixel cables and finally with some camera head and inverse kinematics support for bioloid in the shopping page.

Scroll to the bottom.

Besttechnology seems to show some new software update in Jap from Robotis.

Hmmm, interesting. I hope that all the extras will be available to all the current Bioloid owners.

Limor, is there any chance you might be able to get an official response from Robotis (in English) on their new availabilities?


Cheers.

EDIT: Argh! There's less english on the new website than the old!

Currently it takes ages to download a video. I hope it is a temporary problem. By the way, there are many more videos now.

New site is certainly an improvement.
At least they removed the irritating Javascript clock.

I'm waiting to hear from them regarding availability of these new items.

The Zig100 board, as I may have mentioned earlier, is not a plug-n-play board and requires some voltage conversion according to Robotis.
In any case, there are some cheap Zigbee and Bluetooth boards on the web. Pev has recently connected the BlueSmirf to the Bioloid Zigbee port and operated it using the standard PC GUI and Firmware.

Sweet! Did anybody notice this product?!!? (Scroll to bottom of page)

Looks like there could be a nice possibility to use PDA's or similar for control. Would give a lot more processing power, which would be great for more advanced applications.

Looks like Robotis are extracting the digit

FYI: The English page is already working.

Yeah, I saw....... but the "shopping mall" section isn't available in English. I'm still interested to know if the extra components in the most advanced kit, such as the camera, will be made available to existing owners.
