Arduino and robotis dynamixel servo

Hi everyone,

I am also thinking about using Dynamixels for a college robotics project and since I have 0 experience in non-PWM control of motors, I would appreciate some help.

I haven't decided on a particular Arduino board yet, is there one that would work better than others?

Additionally, what other hardware will I need to communicate with the motor? I saw on the Dynamixel website a USB2Dynamixel converter. Is this something I would need or should I get another piece of hardware?

Finally, if anyone has any example code for controlling the Dynamixel motors using the Arduino (specifically, I am looking into controlling their torque) or any helpful tutorials, I will be very thankful if you could post them here or send them to me.

Thanks in advance.
