What Works with DYNAMIXEL?

To communicate with DYNAMIXEL actuators from a PC or single-board computer, a compatible interface is required to convert USB or UART signals to the DYNAMIXEL bus. The most commonly used and officially supported interface is U2D2.

• Windows, Linux, and macOS PCs (via USB-to-Serial adapters such as U2D2)
• Single-board computers like Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson
• ROS and ROS 2 robotics frameworks
• Embedded controllers: OpenCM, OpenCR, and Arduino-compatible boards
• Programming languages including Python, C/C++, Java, MATLAB, and LabVIEW

Most Commonly Used Tools

• DYNAMIXEL Wizard 2.0 for configuration and diagnostics
• DYNAMIXEL SDK for custom software development
• ROS + Workbench for research and education platforms
• Arduino-based solutions for embedded control
