• Hi, im russian student, and our team has a problem. How we can use dynamixel MX-28 motors with turtlebot and also can we even use it? or onle X-series could be used with Turtlebot?

Hi :) TB3 series are only compatible with Dynamixel X series. But if you were built manipulator to use MX series, you can refer to OpenManipulator

Thanks

So, mx28 support protocol 2.0 and 1.0 also mx28 and xl430 have similar characteristic, I ask because our xl430 was damaged, so we need to substitute them, or it’s terrible idea? Thank you for answer :)

Sorry to hear that. You can replace XL430 to MX-28(2.0). But it is not recommended due to hardware compatibility. You need to make other parts to assemble it to TB3. Furthermore Because MX-28(2.0) has different dimension compared by XL430, the height of TB3 has been changed.

I recommend buy one more XL430. It makes save your time.

Thanks
