Notes written by Robotheca from the project's documents.
Main parts
- A Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 serves as the embedded board that runs the robot.
- Robotis Dynamixel actuators, 25 of them, drive the robot's joints.
- A USB2Dynamixel or USB2AX adapter can connect the motors to a separate computer.
Connections
- The Dynamixel motors can be connected directly to a computer through a USB2Dynamixel or USB2AX adapter instead of the embedded board.
