1)The ArbotiX-M is 61x61mm (the DC heck does overhang the PCB by ~1.5mm, so in a tight enclosure you'd need 61x62.5, or at least a cutout for the jack, plus any clearance for what you plug into it)

Today we're releasing a beta run of the ArbotiX hardware and Library files for Arduino 1.6 (finally!)

All of the DYNAMIXEL Pro servos use the new DYNAMIXEL 2.0 communication protocol. They all use 4-pin RS-485 (for now).

All of the DYNAMIXEL MX servos use the DYNAMIXEL 1.0 communication protocol....

I'm not familiar with Moveit, can you tell us a little more about your setup? Are you running ROS/pass through firmware on the ArboitX and controlling from the computer, or are you writing custom...

Can you run the build check again, and make sure the robots motions match the video?

Can you give us a little more information on the "Arbotix Gui" you're using? I'm guessing you're using some of the old ROS 'turtlebot arm' stuff, but I'm not sure. Any info on downloaded packages,...

Hello,
It looks like you might not have your libraries installed in the correct place (usually the robotgeeksketches folder is in the Arduino folder, not the library folder)

Hi Kelly,
Sorry for not responding to this sooner.

You're code looks fine (I got it to work on a mega / pincher here)

Before we delve too deep in, I just want to make sure that

Hello,
We're still working on Arduino 1.6 support. I'd recommend downloading Arduino 1.0.6 as noted in the getting started guide

Hi Buckbot,

I'm sorry about your missing parts! It looks like part of it is things we purposely left out of the latest kit and part of it is actually missing parts.

We're currently updating the...

We had a minor delay, but almost all of the HR-OS1 kits are now shipped out. There's one left that had some extra pieces on the order that we're still waiting to ship, but that one should get shipped...

Hi Everyone,

I'm sorry for the delay and lack of info on the latest HR-OS1s. We had more delays with the ArbotiX-Pros than we anticipated. This pushed out ship date (the end of August as was...

Did you pick 250,000 as the baud rate? We typically recommend sticking with the standard 1000000 that the AX-12a come set to.

We don't have matlab here, but have you come across these resources?

I don't think this will solve your problem, but I would recommend that you remove jumper 2 (j2). This is the reset jumper that allows the FTDI cable to reset the ArbotiX-M for reprogramming....

This is related to the way that Gatekeeper on MacOSX reports apps - sometimes it will report an unsigned app as damaged instead of just unsigned.. At the bottom of the Virtual Commander page there is...

You are correct that the Geekduino getting started guide has you set the switch to 5v, which is the normal baseline. However the ArbotiX getting started guide instructs/shows you to set the switches...

Hi Birdman, sorry to hear you're having issues. I'm also sorry your kit didn't come with the barrel jack adaptor. Please e-mail me your order number and we'll get you one right away. We can also...

We're waiting on a batch of the ArbotiX Pros from manufacturing within the next 6 weeks - we should have them up on the site as soon as the batch comes in.

We'll be announcing this officially on the store/blog and via newsletter on Monday, but we wanted to let the TRC members know a little early that we're taking pre-orders for the HR-OS1 kits again! ...

We currently don’t have currently have a command to get back data from each servo. This is something we would like to implement, but haven’t gotten to it.


If you wanted to implement it, I...

The simplest way to set the values would be...

Are you able to export your program to some kind of executable? That way I can analyze the actual packets coming out of your program.

Also, can you e-mail me your order number for the arm?...

the node server code as it stands is based on some old code for the HR-OS5, and is a little wonky. I've got a working example that I'll try to push this week to a separate branch for those interested...

When the servos fail, can you still query them for data, i.e. can you read its positional data?

Does the servo move freely once it's failed?

Does the arm only shutdown during the linear motion?...

Sorry about that, all the links should be back up and running as of last night. Thanks for the note!

I'm assuming that you were able to initially ID all of the servos without any problems?


The 12v 2.5A SMPS is not going to be enough to power all of the servos. For example, we ship 12v5A units...

No need to be sorry, this is how we all learn :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your code looks like you're sending strings instead of bytes. So you're actually sending the ASCII characters "0xff' instead of the value 0xff

So if you take a look at...
