2-4. Connection of Main Controller
Main Controller
RX-64 uses the Multi-Drop Link method which connects several RX-64s to a Node by
using Half Duplex UART. Thus, a Main Controller to run RX-64 must support RS485
UART. You can also design and use Main Controller by yourself.

Connection with PC
If you want to control RX-64 with PC, you may control it via the Dynamixel-only controller
or using the USB2Dynmixel. For further information, refer to the Dynamixel-only
controller manual or the USB2Dynmixel manual.
Connection with UART
To control RX-64 with a personally made Main Controller, the signal of Main Controller
UART should be converted into RS485 type signal. The following is a recommended
circuit diagram.
