Libdynamixel’s documentation

libdynamixel

libdynamixel is a C++11 library for the Dynamixel actuators. Its goals are to be fast and to work with most Dynamixels, including the Dynamixel Pro actuators.

This library comes with a command line utility that can, among other things, be very convenient for the configuration of your actuators.

Features

• supports Dynamixel series AX, MX, EX, XL and Pro
• supports all instructions and messages of both version 1 and 2 of the Dynamixel communication protocol
• full C++11 api
  • template-based API for fast and low-level access
  • class-based unified API abstracting away the differences between the actuators (as long as they use the same Dynamixel protocol).
