What if you had much faster communication with servos?

Hey Thot,

About everyone at some point has asked for an IMU, it was time to put one :stuck_out_tongue:

The ledsā€¦ will find some use, Iā€™m sure. At first I will probably use 2 for general status of the product (ok/errorā€¦) and leave one for the user. Not sure yet, I just put a few because it would be a pity not to have onay, but thatā€™s it.

Right now Iā€™m working on a little something else, so no progress on the firmware yet.

Because the usb2AXpro communicate in UART TTL and send data to usb. I wonder if it could be possible to adapt the firmware to manage an Rplidar A2. http://www.slamtec.com/en/lidar

Right now the 4 available USART/UART are dedicated to dynamixel lines (with circuitry on the top pcb to support it), so it would not be practical as-is.

However you could make a new top pcb to use one of the serial ports differently and modify the firmware, sure.
