Dynamixel MX28 seems to be able to do continuous rotation.
Is it possible to drive them with Pypot ?
We’d like to make a camera crane with a gear rack for an event in Cité des sciences.
Thank you

Yes, pypot gives you access to the wheel mode:
See here from the API: http://poppy-project.github.io/pypot/pypot.dynamixel.html#pypot.dynamixel.io.io.DxlIO.set_wheel_mode
Be careful though, under the hood it sets the angle limit to (0, 0) and then you should control the motor using moving_speed.
And of course, you have to make sure the wire is not a problem 
Thank you,
I tried to use MX28 in wheel mode. It works.
Our event about building a camera crane has been canceled but we will program it again.
