Recently, I've been during some development on a robot project that consists of 36 XM540-W270 servos. Unfortunately, I kept running into an error at startup that the dynamixelworkbench toolbox 'failed to get the tool'. It took a few hours, but I located the source of the issue being with a hard-coded limit to the number of servos that the dynamixel_workbench_toolbox can handle. As specified at https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/dynamixel-workbench/blob/master/dynamixel_workbench_toolbox/include/dynamixel_workbench_toolbox/dynamixel_tool.h#L30, the max limit is set to '30'. Do you think you could bump up this number to 36? After manually changing this number, I had no issues running my code.
