Ur5 with a dynamixel Motor

Hello, I am trying to interface a dynamixel servo motor with the UR5 with an Arduino however, I am stuck on how to get them to communicate. is there a shield or an electronic board that would help? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

Hello Benjamin

If you want to connect dynamixel motors and a UR5 manipulator to a common interface I would consider using ROS.
you can run ROS on any computer that can run linux (you can use a raspberry pi). you can also integrate an arduino to the ROS environment using microros (for ROS2) or rosserial (for ROS1).

Hope this helped you
