Dynamixel Ax-18a

Help & Support Robot Parts

Dear Sir/Madam

I ordered two Dynamixel AX-18a servo motors from Robotshop and tried to commands to command it via the Arduino IDE and the Arduino Uno with the Motor Shield on my first attempt at utilising it.

However, in doing so the servo motor appears to be stuck on BREAK mode. I later bought the ArbotiX-M robocontroller to help me communicate with the servo and reset its ID and Baud rate using the DynaManager. But I can not seem to use the slider function to alter the position of the Servo motor even after reflashing it with the Ros sketch available for the servo motor.

I was wondering if you would be so kind to point me in the right direction as to where the problem is arising and whether you could provide me with a solution to fix this situation?

Additionally, I was hoping you could send the original firmware that was flashed on the servo motor if there was any firmware pre-flashed.
