Expand the power of your MKR boards with ROBOTIS DYNAMIXEL Shield

Arduino TeamFebruary 19th, 2021

We are happy to announce the new ROBOTIS DYNAMIXEL SHIELD for the Arduino MKR series.

As part of the “Works with Arduino™” program, the DYNAMIXEL SHIELD expands the capabilities of the MKR family, opening up the opportunity to drive the DYNAMIXEL smart servos and create stunning robotics projects. 

The “Works with Arduino” program ensures both the compatibility and quality of the shield within the Arduino ecosystem. Thus, the shield is fully supported by a set of high-quality libraries that are available in the Arduino IDE.

Combine the ROBOTIS DYNAMIXEL SHIELD with Arduino MKR boards to: 

  • Control up to 253 servos connected in a daisy chain 
  • Get real-time feedback like position, velocity, voltage, current, temperature, moving status, and additional items
  • Fine-tune motion characteristics 
  • Expand existing systems, and/or swap units for similar or upgraded models

The ROBOTIS DYNAMIXEL SHIELD for the Arduino MKR series is available for pre-order on the Arduino online store.
