ROS kinetic Kame Support

[mnambi]

I have been trying to run this on ROS-kinetic with an MX-28, and the controller-manager is not able to detect the servo.

process[dynamixel_manager-1]: started with pid [9866]
[INFO] [WallTime: 1467062529.067473] dxl_tty1: Pinging motor IDs 1 through 100...

Has anyone got this running on ROS-kinetic yet?

Thanks!

Since this package is not part of Kinetic release, my guess is that it is broken in some way. I am going to poke at it.

I have tried these drivers on ROS-kinetic. It is running well.

Works for me on kinetic/16.04 now that #49 (comment) is merged.

Any chance someone could release for kinetic now that it works?

I've submitted the release for Kinetic. Still waiting for it to be pulled into the build farm.

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-dynamixel-motor still installs an old version of this package (0.4.0-0xenial-20161202-131012-0800).

I am running into the AttributeError: 'Serial' object has no attribute 'setTimeout' bug which was already fixed in the master by 4b6e18c.

Any update on the new release @csherstan?

I've pushed the latest, it will take a while to move through the build farm though.
