ServoCds55 library for Digital dynamixel servo Shield

Hi!

I just bought the digital dynamixel servo shield for Arduino in order to control my AX-12A dynamixel motors. The library ServoCds55 doesn't provide all commands available from the dynamixel motors.
How could I for example have a feedback on the position of the motors?
Thanks for your help!

2018-07-08 09:48:29 The more I look into this the more I think this shield is a failure. I can't find any support or information for it. Was probably a waste of money. I'm replacing it with a ArbotiX-M Robocontroller, this seems to have a ton of users and support. zukethenuke

2018-07-08 06:22:15 Hi there, I'm in the same boat you are. I have the shield and 3 ax-12 motors and I'm trying to figure out how to daisy chain them and set ID's and all that. I just found a tutorial series on YouTube that looks good. Here's the link:
