Simple testing - control of Dynamixel AX-12A servo motors using Python's own library

The project demonstrates the control of AX-12A servomotors on several examples. Dynamixel doesn’t respond to PWM signals, but a slightly more complicated protocol of instructions for reading and writing onto its memory. This communication happens over a half-duplex UART port, using only one wire for both sending and receiving. Control of Dynamixel AX-12A servo motors using Python's own library. Communication with the control system is via USB.

Connection:

Step no. 1: Control one servo motor

• TKinter, python animation
• OpenCV (multiple object tracking), matplotlib

Step no. 2: Control Bioloid Humanoid

• OpenCV (multiple object tracking), matplotlib

Step no. 3: Control King-Spider

• OpenCV (object tracking), matplotlib
