Overview
DYNAMIXEL Shield for Arduino MKR allows users to easily use ROBOTIS’ DYNAMIXEL Series along with Arduino MKR Boards.
The features are as follows:
- Compatible with Arduino MKR
- Compatible with ROBOTIS DYNAMIXEL TTL Series (Discontinued DYNAMIXEL may not be supported)
- For 12V DYNAMIXEL power supply, ROBOTIS SMPS 12V 5A PS-10 is recommended
- The included battery connector is compatible with ROBOTIS 3S Li-Po 11.1V batteries LB-010 or LB-020
- Only one JST DYNAMIXEL connector is assembled by default. Please solder included headers when necessary.
- JST DYNAMIXEL connector supports controlling individual servos and daisy-chains.
Parts list:
- DYNAMIXEL MKR Shield (1)
- JST(S3B-EH) (2)
- Molex(5268-02A) (2)
- DC Jack Harness (1)
- Battery Connector(SMW250-02) (1)

… on Arduino quality standards and we’re still manufacturing in Italy making sure that our ethical values are strictly followed. The lower price point on these products has been achieved thanks to a careful optimization on purchasing prices and by trimming our margins as we believe that it’s important to give makers the quality they deserve at competitive prices. The Arduino Nano Every is now available for pre-order on the Arduino online store with headers (estimated shipping date: end of July 2019) or without headers mounted (estimated shipping date: mid-June 2019).
