MX-28 Robotis Dynamixel Servo

Robotis has just announced a new line of Dynamixel Servos: the MX-series, beginning with the release of the MX-28.  The MX-28 servo has some distinct improvements over its RX-28 brethren: 12-bit (0.088°) angular resolution (four times that of the RX), full 360° controlled rotation (rather than 300°), non-contact magnetic encoders (not subject to mechanical wear), etc. — and all for about the same price (MX-28: $219.90 MSRP, RX-28: $200)!   Of note, the MX-28 is prominently featured as part of the new DARwin-OP humanoid — the recent Nao competitor that Robotis created in collaboration with Virginia Tech’s RoMeLa Lab.  Perhaps best of all… Hizook was selected as a beta tester for this new servo (probably owing to our  prominent coverage of the RX-series and our awesome cross-platform open-source Robotis software library).  We were impressed with the new MX-28 — read on for details, including an exclusive look inside the new servo as well as a quick tutorial using the updated open-source drivers (in python, complete with ROS bindings).
