This package includes one of the boards shown on the top left image, plus a
spare five amp fuse. This board allows your PC to communicate with Bioloid bus
devices (AX-12, AX-S1, IMU, etc) using a USB cable (not included) at speeds of
up to 1.0 Mbps.
The default Bioloid power brick can be plugged into this board
to provide power.
This board is compatible with a wide array of operating systems - it uses an
FTDI transceiver chip to interface between the Bioloid bus and your computer's
USB port.
Supported
drivers / operating systems
There is also a driver available for the
gumstix verdex
line of single board computers. Note that only verdex (PXA-270 based) gumstix
boards can interface to this board, since they have USB host available. The
basix and connex lines do not support USB host, and therefore cannot interface
with this board.
