This section will guide you to instructions for installing the ROS Dynamixel motor stack as well as associated tutorials to operate the motors on ROS.

PREREQUISITE: This assumes:

1. instructions in hardware setup have been completed.

2. you are operating on a Ubuntu release with the appropriate distribution of ROS already installed

The following mirrors instructions found on the ROS.org page for the Dynamixel motor stack .

To download and install the motor stack, open a terminal and run,

sudo apt-get install ros-%ROS_DISTRO%-dynamixel-motor

where '%ROS_DISTRO%' has been replaced with the relevant ROS distribution installed on the system (eg. kinetic).
