Basic implementation of servos

With all of the dependencies installed, what comes next?

Now that you are in the Driving/ directory, let's take a look around. Run the command

ls

And you'll see the following output:

• Servos/ - The folder containing all servo configurations as a .csv file

• dynamixels.py - A file containing the Dynamixel class and setup utilities

• server.py - A file that implements dynamixels.py by hosting a UDP server

Make a new file called <your name>Server.py with the following code:

touch <your name>Server.py
# For example, Bob would do
touch bobServer.py

Now that this file exists, you can start editing the code. Open the file in a text editor of your choice, or by using this command:

nano <your name>Server.py

From there, we can start creating the code to interface with the robot. Add the following line to the file you have just created:

from dynamixels import initialise_dynamixel

This will tell Python to include the initialise_dynamixel function for later use. Looking inside dynamixels.py, the definition of the function includes some information about its usage.
