RPi driving dynamixel from UART at 1Mbps

I did use 3.3v and it worked but if I am using longer cables or if there is capacitance in my board then it can get dropped packets. I suggest using a level shifter to converter between the 3.3v and 5v and also a level shifter on the RX pin as the dynamixel sends back 5v level and I think this will break the RPi after awhile.
