+ * @brief Class to communicate with Dynamixel MX12 servomotors. 
  *
+ * @details
+ *  The servomotors are daisy chained to a serial link of the target 
+ *  microcontroller. The class ensures the initialization of serial link 
+ *  and the management of communications. 
+ *  Transmission of messages to the servomotors is blocking while 
+ *  reception is non-blocking thanks to the use of an interrupt routine.
