Most of the information is available through existing tutorials. For example, the biped first lab tutorial has links to Dynamixel starter activities.
Demo: Show the Edy model in Rviz as the manipulator is adjusted. Hold the robot arm and play with it. The model in Rviz should move exactly how real model moves.
The computer to the left of Edy as you are facing Edy is the one to use.
There is a Github repository for Edy that documents how to run it with ROS. Follow the README with the of viewing the virtual model of Edy in Rviz.
Of note, when facing to the wall, only the right arm works. For the project, only one arm is needed to be operational. But please make sure all cables are connected for the left arm otherwise you won't be able to successfully run the tutorials provided (since they may assume both arms are connected).
Supplemental Material: In case you want to learn more about ROS and MoveIt!, there are official tutorials provided by ROS and MoveIt!, which provide understanding on how they both work.
