Dynamixel motor Control with ARDUINO without SHIELD

[roboteer]

I had tried to make my own DXL Shield within a home user environment, and you can read my post here:

"Homemade" DXL Shield

UPDATE: 4/1/2023 I beefed up the AWG used for the Power Wires from 22 AWG to 20 AWG and that took care of the Packet Error issue. I also slowed down the DUAL CORE iteration rate with a 150 ms delay and that took care of the occasional erroneous values of Present Position and Present Velocity. [AdaFS3_CustomDXLShield_SRW_0_DC_150] So although I had learned a lots from this project and the individual parts were cheaper, but the shipping costs were too high, so the end-user is still better off…

Although it was an instructive project for me, I still think that it will be more efficient time-wise and monetary-wise for regular users just to buy and use either the original DXL Shield or the MKR DXL Shield depending on your Arduino Controller model.
