5v and 12v motor control via 1 OpenRB-150?

[roboteer]

I have encountered this voltage-mixing in the past and it can be easily solved if you understand the issues/principles involved.

Please visit this following post to get more details, although it was written for an OpenCM-904 controller, the same approach applies for all ROBOTIS controllers.

Combination of XL320 and XL 330

excuse me sir/madam, I want to ask whether XL 320 and XL 330 can be combined using only 1 OPEN CM 9.04? please explain for me Thank you for everything

You will need to create ONE custom X3P DXL Power Cable, see this post:

How many motors

Issue: Section 6.1 “Features” in the web page for the DYNAMIXEL Shield for Arduino states that “Up to 16 DYNAMIXEL’s can be controlled”. Despite this, I have seen many tutorials in which Arduino-controlled DYNAMIXEL servos are used to actuate hexapod robots - a project I wish to do myself. The issue is that such a task requires 18 servos. I am wondering how I can accomplish this task? Are there better ways to control 18 x AX-12A servos? If I use 6 x 2XL430-W250-T and 6 x XL430-W250-T, then wo…

and ONE custom X3P cable (with VDD cut off) to serve as an “electrical isolation” between the 5V DXLs and 12V DXLs (i.e. for the 2 Power Circuits), and as an “electrical bridge” for the Control Circuit which should be common to ALL DXLs and connected back to the OpenRB-150.
