Enjoy a Dynamixel app on Mac without setup - slavikshen/DynamixelMonitor GitHub Wiki

It does take a long time for me to make up my mind to write a tool to control my dynamixel robot kit.

I brought a robotis humanoid kit last year. They only have software for the Windows which I really don't like.

After I burn the flash rom of the CM-5 controller, I could not play with it anymore. I used to try ROS, but it fails on the Mavericks. Suddenly I found myself sieged by problems.

I decided to solve the problem once for all.

After two weeks, I finally created this app. It could control the servos without any setup which is the reason I always loathe the open source tools. Why don't they provide a simple setup? There is always glitch when the os update. I hope ROS could solve the problem on Mavericks soon. I do want to try it without reinstall my mac.

Since I am not good at Python, I choose javascript to control the robot. The new javascript on Mavericks helps a lot. And thanks to https://github.com/mugginsoft/Fragaria . It is a amazing syntax highlight editor view, very easy to use.

The development progress smoothly so far. I hope I could create something like XCode to play with. :P
