Sending Variable with usb2dynamixel SDK

[nepotech]

Hi........

I have a program with RoboPlus Task :

IF (Remocon Arrived == TRUE)
{
Variable = Remocon RXD
Print = Variable
}

The program above, i want to send a variable on CM 510.
if I want to programming with Visual C++, how is the program code?

Helpme, please........!

Hi nepotech,

If you are asking... how can I transmit data from a PC to the CM510 and then decode it from RoboPlus using the Remocon functions ?

The answer can be found in the Robotis e-manual. Check out Product Information/Robot Parts/Communication/RC-100 (near the bottom of the page). There you will find the communications packet specification that the RC-100 uses to pass 2-byte data words to the CM-510. Any program that can create one of these 6-byte packets and transmit it to the CM-510 (via wired or wireless) can substitute for the RC-100.

Thanks Fritzoid...

But in my project i want to connect CM-510 - computer with usb2dynamyxel, not using RC100 or zigbee. I has succeeded connecting with RC100 or zigbee. Do you have suggestion about this?

So are you planning to use the serial cable and RS-232?

If so, the plan remains the same. Once you have established a serial connection to the CM-510 (@ 56Kb 8-N-1) then all you have to do is encode your 2-byte variable into the 6-byte packet format and send it to the controller. The CM-510 will be able to detect and to decode the packet just as if it had come from an RC-100.

Technically speaking the ZigBee input and input from the serial cable both end up in the same buffer. The controller just reads what's in the buffer. The ZigBee and serial data would get mixed together if not for the fact that plugging-in the serial cable deactivates the ZigBee link.
