Serial Communication Overview The DYNAMIXEL Shield communicates with actuators using the Arduino’s hardware serial interface (TX/RX). This is the same physical UART interface used for USB communication with a computer. On many Arduino boards, this shared interface can lead to conflicts. If b

Not all robotic applications prioritize precise positioning. In many real-world scenarios (i.e. grippers, collaborative robots, compliant joints, or force-sensitive mechanisms) controlling torque safely and predictably matters just as much, if not more, than controlling position. Many DYNAMIXEL sma
