Dynamixel AX-12+

RichiV

Hello there!

I am wondering if it is possible to control this powerful servos with the propeller chip at his max comunication speed 1Mbps.

I have been looking for a solution and I have only found the next solution:

the problem with it is that you need to use a BS2 and a Propeller chip.


post all the information you can please

The Propeller is certainly capable of communicating at 1Mbps. There was someone experimenting with these maybe a year ago who had modified the FullDuplexSerial I/O routines for half duplex use at this speed, but I don't have a link to it. You may have to search through the Propeller forum to find the discussion. Normally, the FullDuplexSerial I/O driver works up to somewhere over 230Kbps with a full duplex connection.

Make sure you browse through the Propeller Object Exchange as well in case a driver has already been contributed.

RichiV -- CrustCrawler makes their Propeller DynaMixel code available for download. You don't *have* to use a Stamp or any other "host" MCU -- you can just incorporate the DynaMixel routines into your Prop project directly as you see fit.
