Lack of Multi Turn mode #12

Open romainreignier opened 8 years ago

romainreignier commented 8 years ago

Hi Emeric, It seems that the Multi-Turn mode of the Dynamixel MX servos is not supported by SmartServoGui. A radio button would be nice. But even when setting CW angle limit and CCW angle limit to 4095, we cannot put a position higher than 4095, the value is rejected by the software. I think it would be a nice feature to support but maybe not so widely used. Romain

Is multi turn mode a new feature of a recent firmware? I remember the HerkuleX device having 900° of rotation but not the Dynamixel. Unfortunatly I don't have any MX servos to finish this so I'll have to improvise.

I have no idea how old is that feature. I only know the Dynamixel family for 1,5 year. But I have also noticed that the library dynamixel_h lacks this feature too. At work, I should be able to use some MX-28AT motors to do some testing if needed.
