Java Protocol Combined
-
Description
This example, basically, writes the goal position of Dynamixel and repeats to read its present position, until it stops moving. Read and write function can be used even to handle other multiple items in nearby addresses on the control table lists, such as goal position and velocity.

Dynamixel series have their own control tables: Addresses and Byte Length in each items. To control one of the items, its address (and length if necessary) is required. Find your requirements in http://emanual.robotis.com/.
// Protocol version
int PROTOCOL_VERSION1 = 1; // See which protocol version is used in the Dynamixel
int PROTOCOL_VERSION2 = 2;
Dynamixel uses either or both protocols: Protocol 1.0 and Protocol 2.0. Choose one of the Protocol which is appropriate in the Dynamixel.

Here we set some variables to let you freely change them and use them to run the example code.
As the document already said in previous chapter, customize Dynamixel control table items, such as DXL_ID number, communication BAUDRATE, and the DEVICENAME, on your own terms of needs. In particular, BAUDRATE and DEVICENAME have systematical dependencies on your controller, so make clear what kind of communication method you will use.
Dynamixel basically needs the TORQUE_ENABLE to be rotating or give you its internal information. On the other hand, it doesn’t need torque enabled if you get your goal, so finally do TORQUE_DISABLE to prepare to the next sequence.
Since the Dynamixel has its own rotation range, it may shows malfunction if your request on your dynamixel is out of range. For example, Dynamixel MX-28 and Dynamixel PRO 54-200 has its rotatable range as 0 ~ 4028 and -250950 ~ 250950, each.
DXL_MOVING_STATUS_THRESHOLD acts as a criteria for verifying its rotation stopped.
int COMM_SUCCESS = 0; // Communication Success result value
int COMM_TX_FAIL = -1001; // Communication Tx Failed
Each of the variables above show the meaning of the communication result value.
// Instead of getch
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
This initializes instance for key detection.
// Initialize Dynamixel class for java
Dynamixel dynamixel = new Dynamixel();
This initializes Dynamixel class.
// Initialize PortHandler Structs
// Set the port path
// Get methods and members of PortHandlerLinux or PortHandlerWindows
int port_num = dynamixel.portHandler(DEVICENAME);
portHandler() function sets port path as DEVICENAME and get port_num, and prepares an appropriate functions for port control in controller OS automatically. port_num would be used in many functions in the body of the code to specify the port for use.
// Initialize PacketHandler Structs
dynamixel.packetHandler();
packetHandler() function initializes parameters used for packet construction and packet storing.
int index = 0;
int dxl_comm_result = COMM_TX_FAIL; // Communication result
short[] dxl1_goal_position = new short[]{DXL1_MINIMUM_POSITION_VALUE, DXL1_MAXIMUM_POSITION_VALUE}; // Goal position of Dynamixel MX
int[] dxl2_goal_position = new int[]{DXL2_MINIMUM_POSITION_VALUE, DXL2_MAXIMUM_POSITION_VALUE}; // Goal position of Dynamixel PRO
byte dxl_error = 0; // Dynamixel error
short dxl1_present_position = 0; // Present position
int dxl2_present_position = 0;
index variable points the direction to where the Dynamixel should be rotated.
dxl_comm_result indicates which error has been occurred during packet communication.
dxl1_goal_position and dxl2_goal_position stores goal points of Dynamixel rotation.
dxl_error shows the internal error in Dynamixel.
dxl1_present_position and dxl2_present_position views where now it points out.

First, controller opens #port_num port to do serial communication with the Dynamixel. If it fails to open the port, the example will be terminated.

}
else

Secondly, the controller sets the communication BAUDRATE at #port_num port opened previously.

As mentioned in the document, above code enables each Dynamixel`s torque to set their status as being ready to move.
write1ByteTxRx() function sends an instruction to the #DXL1_ID and #DXL2_ID DYNAMIXEL in each PROTOCOL_VERSION1 and PROTOCOL_VERSION2 communication protocol through #port_num port, writing 1 byte of TORQUE_ENABLE value to ADDR_MX_TORQUE_ENABLE and ADDR_PRO_TORQUE_ENABLE address. The function checks Tx/Rx result and receives Hardware error.
getLastTxRxResult() function and getLastRxPacketError() function get either, and then printTxRxResult() function and printRxPacketError() function show results on the console window if any communication error or Hardware error has been occurred.

During while() loop, the controller writes and reads the Dynamixel position through packet transmission/reception(Tx/Rx).
To continue its rotation, press any key except ESC.
write2ByteTxRx() function sends an instruction to the #DXL1_ID Dynamixel in PROTOCOL_VERSION1 communication protocol through #port_num port, writing 2 byte of dxl1_goal_position[index] value to ADDR_MX_GOAL_POSITION address. The function checks Tx/Rx result and receives Hardware error.

getLastTxRxResult() function and getLastRxPacketError() function get either, and then printTxRxResult() function and printRxPacketError() function show results on the console window if any communication error or Hardware error has been occurred.
Reading its present position will be ended when absolute value of (dxl1_goal_position[index] - dxl1_present_position) or (dxl2_goal_position[index] - dxl2_present_position) becomes smaller then DXL_MOVING_STATUS_THRESHOLD.
At last, it changes its direction to the counter-wise and waits for extra key input.

The controller frees the DYNAMIXEL to be idle.
write1ByteTxRx() function sends an instruction to the #DXL1_ID and #DXL2_ID DYNAMIXEL in each PROTOCOL_VERSION1 and PROTOCOL_VERSION2 communication protocol through #port_num port, writing 1 byte of TORQUE_DISABLE value to ADDR_MX_TORQUE_ENABLE and ADDR_PRO_TORQUE_ENABLE address.
