I'm trying to use dynamixel MX-106 in ROS, and I want to use it in multi-turn mode. I could find the way to set it to multi-turn mode in operating manual which can be found in web page of Robotis. But I can not figure out how to do it in ROS. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Hello Kaz-Kom, did you get the solution for this problem i.e. controlling Dynamixel motors for multi-turns.
I followed the steps as described in below link: http://wiki.ros.org/dynamixel_control...
This is what I did : - Changed the Operating mode (Register number 11) to 4 instead of 3 (default). - Changed the angle limit from 0 to 8192
But still I am not able to set the multi-turns. Can somebody let me know what extra changes I have to do to enable multi-turns.
Hello :)
ROBOTIS provides official opensource repository as ROBOTIS-GIT
In this repository, you can find Dynamixel-Workbench to control all series of DYNAMIXELS. Because it is official package for DYNAMIXEL, you can get a proper solution when you faced some problems.
This is WIKI page for DYNAMIXEL and introduced packages.
Enjoy with it!

This can be done in two simple steps :
Set the operating mode to extended position control mode (multi-turn). This can be done by setting the operating_Mode(11) to value 4 (considering prorocol 2.0). It supports 512 total turns (-256 to +256) however these values needs to be mapped in radians or in multiple of resolution according to the interface you are using to control the motor. for eg if you use dynamixel controller package to control the motor it takes the goal position in radians. .
Now you can simply use the goal_position to give multi turn value.
A single turn takes the values from 0 to 4096 and in multiturn it can take -1,048,575 ~ 1,048,575
if you are using a gui to control dynamixel then multi-turn might not be possible because it limits the angle values but you can do it by chnaging the clock-wise and anti-clockwise angle limits or check it using the dynamixel workbench controller package.
