Josue, thank you for making the rpi hat and the dynamixel interface. After ordering both over the last year, I've run into an issue: I'm developing in Python and neither of them work with the DynamixelSDK in Python. I suspect it's because there is no direction control pin in the Python version of the SDK like there is in the C++ library. I saw Willson's post here https://forum.robotis.com/t/control-servo-xl320-with-raspberry-pi/4401 and came to the conclusion that it's possible. However, I gave it a good college try and my coding skills fell short... I was unable to establish a connection.
If you are able to get your dynamixel interface or RPI hat to work with the python dynamixelSDK, I think there's a pretty sizable market of robotic companies like mine that would want them. Robotis' solution of a u2d2+ external power is terrible. I'd much prefer your RPi hat.

I didn't get a notification on this! Sorry for the late reply.

Assuming the Dynamixel SDK has the superset of features and will develop more in the future, I'm primarily interested in using a modified Dynamixel SDK. I have seen your Arduino library (and used it before!). If successful, maybe Robotis will merge your branch in and your boards will be permanently supported by their library.

Josue, any luck with development? Secondly, is there a way we can more directly connect? I’m not getting notifications from this thread despite my attempts to correct this in the settings.
