Is it Possible to Control Darwin-OP (1st Edition) with ROS

[armandogranado]

Hi, I know you can send ROS commands to Darwin-OP 3. However, our team has the first Darwin-OP. Would it be possible to command it using ROS.

Robotis sent a document on downloading Ubuntu 9.01 on the hardware. However, even if we did do that, how can we ensure ROS commands will make it work.

Thanks for reading!

Hi,

To use ROS, you must install Ubuntu 14.04 or later. However, I think it difficult to install on darwin-op. If possible, the ros package for op2 can be used for darwin-op. This is op2 ros package. darwin-op is almost the same as robotis-op2, but it is slow (slow CPU processing).

  • ROBOTIS-OP2
  • ROBOTIS-OP2-COMMON

Hi, I have some doubts, excuse my English, it's bad.
1.-Did you mention that I have to install ubuntu 14.04 in the darwin, or what version of ubuntu should I have installed to use ROS without any problem? because I read the darwin op2 documentation and it says that I must have higher ubuntu versions to install ROS both in the darwin and on my laptop (I currently have version 10.10 installed)
2.-The darwion op2 packages are compatible with darwin op1, does it not matter if the sub controller of one is 730 cm and the other 740 cm?
Thank you

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply.

1. Yes, you need to install ubuntu version 14.04 or higher on darwin-op2. If you are not using ROS on your laptop, you do not need to install Ubuntu 14.04 or higher on your laptop. If you are using ROS, you need to install it too.

2. Since op1 and op2 are the same hardware(MX-28), it seems that software can be applied. The cm740 is an improved version of the cm730, which is expected to work with the cm730. but it's difficult to install the latest version of Ubuntu on darwin-op1 due to lack of storage.

Hi, OPENCR with robotis-op3 firmware can work on TTL communication. However, to use both OPENCR and CM-740, you need to modify OPENCR's firmware. This is because OPENCR and CM-740 are the same ID. To replace the CM-740 with OPENCR, you need to install a communication board such as U2D2 on robotis-op2. OPENCR works as a sensor board on robotis-op3. Regards, Kayman
