Method References

groupSyncWrite

• Syntax

int groupSyncWrite(int port_num, int protocol_version, short start_address, short data_length)

• Parameters

Parameters	Description
port_num	Port number
protocol_version	Protocol version
start_address	Control table address to start writing data
data_length	Total data length

• Detailed Description

  This function initializes the parameters for packet construction. The function resizes groupData struct and initialzes struct members.

groupSyncWriteAddParam

• Syntax

Boolean groupSyncWriteAddParam(int group_num, byte id, int data, short input_length)

• Parameters

Parameters	Description
group_num	Group number
id	DYNAMIXEL ID
data	Data for write
input_length	Input data length

• Detailed Description

  This function pushes id to the DYNAMIXEL ID list, and initializes #group_num parameter storage by adding input_length bytes data. The function deals with 1, 2 or 4 byte data only. The function returns false when the length of input data exceeds parameter or wrong length, or returns true.

groupSyncWriteRemoveParam

• Syntax

void groupSyncWriteRemoveParam(int group_num, byte id)

• Parameters

Parameters	Description
group_num	Group number
id	DYNAMIXEL ID

• Detailed Description

  This function removes id and its data for write in the #group_num DYNAMIXEL ID list. The function returns false when no data is in the parameter storage, or returns true.

groupSyncWriteChangeParam

• Syntax

Boolean groupSyncWriteChangeParam(int group_num, byte id, int data, short input_length, short data_pos)

• Parameters

Parameters	Description
group_num	Group number
id	DYNAMIXEL ID
data	Data for write
input_length	Input data length
data_pos	Data position in the array

• Detailed Description

  This function pushes new data_length bytes data into #group_num parameter storage of same id. The function returns false when the target ID doesn’t exists in the ID list, or returns true.

groupSyncWriteClearParam

• Syntax

void groupSyncWriteClearParam(int group_num)

• Parameters

  None

• Detailed Description

  This function clears #group_num DYNAMIXEL ID list.

groupSyncWriteTxPacket

• Syntax

void groupSyncWriteTxPacket(int group_num)

• Parameters

Parameters	Description
group_num	Group number

• Detailed Description

  This function transmits the packet by using syncWriteTxOnly function. The communication result and the hardware error are available when the function is terminated.
