Differences between Dynamixel MX28 servo control and MX106

I have just received a couple of MX106T Dynamixel servos (get to play with torque control!).

Is there a difference between initializing for the MX28 and the MX106?
I can't find any data on that... right now, normally, I create blocks on the block diagram for

"VISA resource name" and "Baud rate" and connect those to the "Dynamixel Motor.lvlib:Initialize.vi" block... which is in turn connected to my actual control blocks.

I know that the MX106T can do torque control as well but haven't explored this. I would very much like to, so if anyone has a tutorial, that would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello Slow, 

 

Unfortunately I will not be able to provide any input over the differences between the MX28 and MX106 actuators. If you do not get other replies to this post, it may be worth calling Robotis to see if there is any difference in initializing them. 

 

Here is another discussion post that you may have already seen.. But they discuss an application using multiple actuators from Robotis. The only other resources we have regarding these devices is a DevZone article that details a basic application using them.
