- Workshop: Programming a Bioloid robot workbench using C# and C++
- Workshop: USB, serial and remote communications with C#
- C++, Bioloid and Raspberry Pi (v0.2)
- So… let’s the Bioloid, C++ and QT games start!
- [UPDATED] A simple but pretty complete Linux C++ example for Bioloid
- Bioloid Workbench Windows C++ examples
[Next post: Dynamixel communications with C#]
It would be a workshop using C# .Net and C++ with Qt 5. The code presented here is used in this two different robots and boards, a HP 214 Ipaq with Windows Mobile and a Raspberry Pi, using the Robotis CM-510 as the servo and sensors controller:
These will be the first steps, using C# and .Net , here the code and the exe for the Workbench UI:
Using this enhaced Toss Mode that adds some new functions. Some of them:
And these are the base classes that allow to create it:
Bioloid common C# classes
We will start connecting to the Dynamixel bus and sending commands and queries. These classes do the work:
Before we start, one question: why I am not using Robotis Dynamixel SDK?
Well, when I started programming Bioloid there were no SDK, so I start creating my own SDK. When the SDK was published I try it but it has two important handicaps:
– it only works with the USB2Dynamixel and I need that it should work with the serial port and with zigbee or bluetooth (really all 3 use the serial connection)
– there is no way to query the sensors connected to the CM-510
