Update to use protocol 2.0

Hello @radugbhr, thanks for your post and for asking this question! The DYNAMIXEL MX-series models are able to use Protocol 2.0 by uploading an updated version of their firmware based on the updated features of DYNAMIXEL X-series.

The upgrade is performed using ROBOTIS’ free softwares- the MX-series models can be updated by performing Firmware Recovery using either the ROBOTIS R+ Manager 2.0 software or using ROBOTIS’ DYNAMIXEL Wizard 2.0 software.

Personally, I would recommend using DYNAMIXEL Wizard 2.0 as it’s the newer software and, in my opinion, faster. Check out the video linked below for a walkthrough on updating the firmware of MX-series models from “1.0” to “2.0” using the DYNAMIXEL Wizard 2.0 software.
