Hi friends

I am working with Dynamixel servomotor A12 and ROS fuerte, I need to get a pan and tilt and when I do transforms I need to know which is the current position of 2 motors.

I don't know if the easiest way is using topics or services, please can you help me? I have looking for information and reading wiki ros but I have not found an explain.

Thanks.

You can use the arbotix or dynamixel_motor package to control the servos. They publish the positions and other stuff to some topic of type sensor_msgs/JointState or dynamixel_msgs/JointState, depending on the package.
