Summary of Changes
Hello @Woojin-Crive, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request significantly enhances the robustness of Dynamixel model handling by introducing support for firmware-specific control table definitions. It enables the system to automatically load the precise model file corresponding to the connected Dynamixel's firmware version, thereby ensuring accurate communication and control even when firmware updates introduce changes to the control table. This is achieved through the addition of new firmware-versioned model files and the implementation of intelligent logic to select the appropriate file at runtime.
Highlights
- Firmware-aware Model File Loading: The system now dynamically selects the correct Dynamixel model definition file based on the device's firmware version. This addresses variations in control tables across different firmware versions for the same hardware model, ensuring accurate communication.
- New Firmware-Specific Model Files: Introduced dedicated model files (e.g.,
xc330_m181_fw52.model) for several Dynamixel models specifically for firmware version 52, which have different control table layouts compared to newer firmware versions. - Updated Base Model Files: Existing base model files (e.g.,
xc330_m181.model) have been updated to reflect control table changes, specifically in indirect address mappings, likely corresponding to the latest firmware versions. - Model File Formatting Tool: A new Python script (
check_model_file_formatting.py) has been added to enforce consistent formatting (e.g., trailing spaces, EOF newlines) for all.modelfiles, improving maintainability and reducing potential parsing issues.
