Dynamixel motors not getting detected in OpenCM or U2D2
2021-09-19 00:02:50 SwatBeam

I have three Dynamixel servo motors XL-330,XL-430 and XM-430 that are not getting detected when connected to the Open CM or U2U2 when all three are connected in parallel or daisy chain (series).


I can detect the motors when one motor is connected at a time for all the three motors.


Three motors or two motors connected at the same time to the CM or U2D2 does not get detected suing SDK , Wizard or Workbench.


One motors connected to the board can be detected in all the methods. 


I need to support to get moving with this issue.


Thanks

Hi,


All DYNAMIXEL comes with a default factory setting with an ID = 1 and a specific baudrate(usually 57,600 bps for X series and 1Mbps for AX series and XL-320)

ID is used to identify each DYNAMIXEL when they are connected in the same network, therefore, in order to use them together, you should set different IDs for each DYNAMIXEL module.

For configuring and testing DYNAMIXEL, DYNAMIXEL Wizard 2.0 is strongly recommended as this free software comes with various features such as plotting and packet sniffing, firmware management, and self diagnosis.


Also when using a separate 5V power source for XL330, please make sure to use the same ground for power source of XM430/XL430 and XL330.


Thanks!
