Interfacing Dynamixel with ROS
If you successfully configured the Dynamixel servo, then it will be very easy to interface Dynamixel with ROS running on Ubuntu. As we've already discussed, there is no need of an FTDI driver in Ubuntu because it's already built into the kernel. The only thing we have to do is install the ROS Dynamixel driver packages.
The ROS Dynamixel packages are available at the following link:

You can install the Dynamixel ROS packages using commands we'll look at now.
