Very cool! A few questions
keithmgould opened this issue · 2 comments
- Wondering what you think the pros/cons are for inxpexel vs native (Robotis) library and tools?
- For users of embedded systems (Arduino in my case) would you recommend your library?
- If yes to above, would it be possible for you to write a small test file showcasing basic functionality?
I think the answers to above questions would make great additions to README or WIKI. apologies if I missed the answers to these somewhere else...
Hi @keithmgould
Yes, it seems like more explanation what inspexel is about is missing.
There is a short description on discourse.ros.org. I guess some info should be adopted in our README.
A quick overview: Inspexel is a command line tool for linux. The tools from robotis are mostly windows centric and have heavy UI. The goal of inspexel is to have a slim command line tool to inspect your connected dynamixel motors. It also gives you the ability to use it inside of a (bash-)script.
Inspexel is not a library but it implements all details to use dynamixel motors. Also many implementation details are based on linux and c++17. Since the standard Arduino toolchain is not always up-to-date I could imagine it is much easier to start with the provided RobotisSDK.
I appreciate your interest and your feedback is very helpful.
Thank you
Added 'introduction' to README. I hope this makes the purpose of this project clearer.
