bbb-dynamixel

Python modules for controlling a dynamixel motor using a Beaglebone Black

Purpose

Illustrate how to use serial communication in python (2.x) running on a Beaglebone Black to control a dynamixel servo. This may be preferred by some over setting up the Dynamixel SDK and using the C language it supports.

Hardware

  • Beaglebone Black with serial cape
  • Dynamixel servo (tested with rx-24f but any r-series should work)
