Most recently, a simple project for controlling a Dynamixel remotely from a computer with a pair of Wixels was added.

python_remote_ax_control

Set up this app on the Wixel connected to an AX12 servo via a TriState buffer. Set up the example wireless_serial app on the other wixel, and connect it to your computer. Run python send_bytes.py -h to learn how to send instructions as part of a packet.

Code for various robots using the Wixel MCU from Pololu.

See the following within the apps folder:

AX-12 version of Twitch

twitch_ax

Original Twitch's code; uses AX-12 servos

Mech Warfare version of Twitch, with AX-12 servos

twitch_mx_servo

Mech warfare version of Twitch; code for the Wixel controlling MX-28T servos

twitch_mx_xbee

Mech warfare version of Twitch; code for the Wixel interfaced with xBee and motor driver

Hobby servo version of Twitch

twitch_pwm

This package contains code and Makefiles that will help you create your own applications for the Pololu Wixel. The Wixel is a general-purpose programmable module featuring a 2.4 GHz radio and USB. The Wixel is based on the CC2511F32 microcontroller from Texas Instruments, which has an integrated radio transceiver, 32 KB of flash memory, 4 KB of RAM, and a full-speed USB interface.

For documentation of this SDK, see: http://pololu.github.com/wixel-sdk

(You can also generate the documentation yourself by running Doxygen on libraries/Doxyfile.)
