Darwin-Mini motion programming 1

Published on Sep 1, 2014

At present, all the instructions on how to use R+Motion V.2.1 are in Korean on the E-manual web site. Recently, I got the time to look at this tool more closely, and I would like to share what I had found:
1) Similarities and Differences between Motion Editor (i.e. V.1) and R+Motion V.2.1.
2) Robot animation feature linkage to Dynamixels update rate of 8 ms.
3) How to calibrate Darwin-mini (i.e. setting offsets).
4) Basic editing of Motion Unit and Motion Group.

Darwin Mini motion programming 2

Published on Sep 2, 2014

The Darwin-mini was aimed at the mobile market so it came with mobile apps for Android systems. But you can also use RoboPlus Manager in a creative way to activate its Motion Groups (previously defined via R+Motion V.2.1). To be exact, I was using the sub-tool called Zig2Serial Management which was originally created to help manage the ZIG-100 (circa 2009). But as it turned out, this was a very general communications tool that can be used on the PC regardless whether ones use ZigBee or BlueTooth.
