Currently I am running the AX-12 servo with the Dynamixel_controller package. I can successfully initialize the servo following the tutorial found [here](http://www.ros.org/wiki/dynamixel_controllers/Tutorials/ConnectingToDynamixelBus). When I attempt to start the controller it produces the follwoing
... logging to /home/tyler/.ros/log/1427d53c-25e6-11e1-8030-00216a81ee0a/roslaunch ubuntu-31628.log

I'm not sure why the controller_manager name is None and why it hangs up at this point. The tutorial I am following for this step can be found [here](http://www.ros.org/wiki/dynamixel_controllers/Tutorials/CreatingJointPositionController).
