An implementation of the [Dynamixel Protocol 2.0].
This library aims to provide a easy to use but low level implementation of the Dynamixel Protocol 2.0. That means it allows you to execute arbitrary commands with arbitrary parameters.
The library does not currently aim to provide an easy interface to the higher level functions of a servo, such as moving it to a specific angle or at a specific speed. Instead, you will have to write the appropriate values to the correct registers yourself.
The main interface is the transfer_single
function,
which can be used to send an instruction to a servo and read a single reply.
The function can work with any Read
+ Write
stream.
It is also also to use write_instruction
followed by multiple read_response
calls
to receive replies from multiple motors.
See the instructions
module for available instructions.
The following instructions are currently implemented (PRs welcome!):
The following planned functionality is currently implemented (PRs welcome!):
* [x] Write instruction messages.
* [x] Read response (status) messages.
* [x] Bit-stuffing and de-stuffing of messages.
* [x] Checksum calculation and verification.
* [x] Optional logging of all instructions and responses.
* [ ] Optional integration with serial
.
* [x] Utility function to perform unicast instructions.
* [ ] Utility function to perform broadcast instructions.
* [x] Utility function to scan a bus for motors.
You can enable the log
feature to have the library use log::trace!()
to log all sent instructions and received replies.
