Can you update your question to tell us what you've already found yourself? Searching (with Google fi) for ros dynamixel returns plenty of results.

Actually, I am also a beginner however currently we are trying a few things related to ROS with Dynamixel. The things you can try are as follows:-

1) Using Dynamixel_SDK which has official support from ROBOTIS https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/Dynami...

2) Using FTDI driver https://github.com/HumaRobotics/dynam... #This link has installation for FTDI

3) dynamixel_motor- This ROS package was used widely till the official SDK came out. However, it still may be useful. https://github.com/arebgun/dynamixel_... #This has ROS documentation as well.

Hope this helps.

Note:- 1) The header file called dynamixel.h which we used in MATLAB does not work with Linux. So don't waste your time with that for Linux. 2) We are trying on the EX-106+ model but mostly it should work for your model as well.
