172.1	8	The Lynxmotion Smart Servo (LSS) serial protocol was created in order to be as simple and straightforward as possible from a user perspective ("human readable format"), while at the same time staying compact and robust yet highly versatile. The protocol was based on Lynxmotion's SSC-32 & SSC-32U RC servo controllers and almost everything one might expect to be able to configure for a smart servomotor is available.
1.1	9
194.2	10	In order to be able to control each servo individually with commands, the first step should be to assign a different ID number to each servo (see details on the Configure ID, or "CID" command [[here>>doc:\|\|anchor="HIdentificationNumber28ID29"]]). Only the servo(s) which have been configured to a specific ID will act on a command sent to that ID. There is currently no CRC or checksum implemented as part of the protocol.

1.1	17
194.2	18	Note 1: For a given session, the action related to a specific command overrides the stored value in EEPROM.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
	19	Note 2: During the power-on / reset process the LSS cannot accept commands for a small amount of time (~1.25 s).<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
	20	Note 3: You can ensure the LSS is ready by using a query command to check for response (ex: #[id]Q\r or #[id]QID\r described below). If the LSS is ready for commands (initialized) it will respond to the query. A timeout between 50-100 ms is recommended to compensate for drivers, OS and buffering delays.

194.2	28	Action commands tell the servo, within that session, to do something (i.e. "take an action"). The types of action commands which can be sent are described below, and they cannot be combined with other commands such as queries or configurations. Only one action command can be sent at a time. Action commands are session-specific, therefore once a servo is power cycled, it will not have any "memory" of previous actions or [[virtual positions>>\|\|anchor="HVirtualAngularPosition"]] (described below). Action commands are sent serially to the servo's Rx pin and must be sent in the following format:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
1.1	29
172.1	30	1. Start with a number sign # (Unicode Character: U+0023)
194.2	31	1. Servo ID number as an integer (assigning an ID described below)
	32	1. Action command (one or more letters, no whitespace, capital or lowercase from the list below)
1.1	33	1. Action value in the correct units with no decimal
172.1	34	1. End with a carriage return \r or <cr> Unicode Character (U+000D)
1.1	35
	36	(((
172.1	37	Ex: #5D1800<cr><div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
1.1	38
172.1	39	This sends a serial command to all servo's RX pins which are connected to the bus and only servo(s) with ID #5 will move to a position (1800 in tenths of degrees) of 180.0 degrees. Any servo on the bus which does not have ID 5 will take no action when receiving this command.

	67	Query commands request information from the servo. They are received via the Rx pin of the servo, and the servo's reply is sent via the servo's Tx pin. Using separate lines for Tx and Rx is called "full duplex". Query commands are also similar to action and configuration commands and must use the following format:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
1.1	68
172.1	69	1. Start with a number sign # (Unicode Character: U+0023)
1.1	70	1. Servo ID number as an integer
172.1	71	1. Query command (one to four letters, no spaces, capital or lower case)
	72	1. End with a carriage return \r or <cr> Unicode Character (U+000D)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
1.1	73
194.2	74	Ex: #5QD<cr> Query the position in (tenth of) degrees for servo with ID #5<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
1.1	75
93.1	76	The query will return a serial string (almost instantaneously) via the servo's Tx pin with the following format:
1.1	77
172.1	78	1. Start with an asterisk * (Unicode Character: U+0023)
1.1	79	1. Servo ID number as an integer
172.1	80	1. Query command (one to four letters, no spaces, capital letters)
1.1	81	1. The reported value in the units described, no decimals.
172.1	82	1. End with a carriage return \r or <cr> Unicode Character (U+000D)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
1.1	83
172.1	84	There is currently no option to control how fast a servo replies after it has received a query command, therefore when sending a query command to the bus, the controller should be prepared to immediately "listen" for and parse the reply. Sending multiple queries to multiple servos on a bus in fast succession may result in replies overlapping and giving incorrect or corrupt data. As such, the controller should receive a reply before sending a new query command. A reply to the query sent above might be:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
93.1	85
172.1	86	Ex: *5QD1800<cr><div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
1.1	87
172.1	88	This indicates that servo #5 is currently at 180.0 degrees (1800 tenths of degrees).

	96	Configuration commands and corresponding values affect a servo's defaults which are written to and read from the servo's EEPROM.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
96.1	97
194.2	98	These configurations are retained in memory after the servo is reset or power is cut / lost. Some configuration commands affect the session, while others do not. In the Command table below, the column "Session" denotes if the configuration command affects the session. Not all action commands have a corresponding configuration command and vice versa. More information about which configuration commands are retained when in RC mode can be found on the [[LSS - RC PWM page>>doc:lynxmotion-smart-servo.lss-radio-control-pwm.WebHome]]. Configuration commands are not cumulative. This means that if two of the same configuration commands are sent, one after the next, only the last configuration is used and stored.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
172.1	99
	100	The format to send a configuration command is identical to that of an action command:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
	101
	102	1. Start with a number sign # (Unicode Character: U+0023)
96.1	103	1. Servo ID number as an integer
172.1	104	1. Configuration command (two to four letters, no spaces, capital or lower case)

172.1	108	Ex: #5CO-50<cr><div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
96.1	109
172.1	110	This configures an absolute origin offset ("CO") with respect to factory origin of servo with ID #5 and changes the offset for that session to -5.0 degrees (50 tenths of degrees). Once the servo is powered off and on, zeroing the servo will cause it to move to -5.0 degrees with respect to the factory origin and report its position as 0 degrees. Configuration commands can be undone / reset either by sending the servo's default value for that configuration, or by doing a factory reset that clears all configurations (through the button menu or with DEFAULT command described below).<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
96.1	111
172.1	112	Session vs Configuration Query<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
1.1	113
172.1	114	By default, the query command returns the session's value. Should no action commands have been sent to change the session value, it will return the value saved in EEPROM which will either be the servo's default, or modified with a configuration command. In order to query the value stored in EEPROM (configuration), add a '1' to the query command:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
1.1	115
172.1	116	Ex: #5CSR20<cr> immediately sets the maximum speed for servo #5 to 20rpm (explained below) and changes the value in memory.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
1.1	117
172.1	118	After RESET, a command of #5SR4<cr> sets the session's speed to 4rpm, but does not change the configuration value in memory. Therefore:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
1.1	119
172.1	120	#5QSR<cr> or #5QSR0<cr> would return *5QSR4<cr> which represents the value for that session, whereas<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
1.1	121
172.1	122	#5QSR1<cr> would return *5QSR20<cr> which represents the value in EEPROM

	129	<div class="cmdcnt"><div class="cmdpad"></div><div class="cmdtxt">
	130	The ability to store a "virtual angular position" is a feature which allows for rotation beyond 360 degrees, permitting multiple rotations of the output horn, moving the center position and more. The "absolute position" would be the angle of the output shaft with respect to a 360.0 degree circle and can be obtained by taking the modulus (with respect to 360 degrees) of the value. For example if the virtual position is reported as 15335 (or 1533.5 degrees), taking the modulus would give 93.5 degrees (3600 * 4 + 935 = 15335) as the absolute position (assuming no origin offset).<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
56.1	131
172.1	132	[[image:LSS-servo-positions.jpg]]<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
56.1	133
172.1	134	In this example, the gyre direction (explained below, a.k.a. "rotation direction") is positive (clockwise), and origin offset has not been modified. Each square represents 30 degrees. The following command is sent:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
56.1	135
172.1	136	#1D-300<cr> This causes the servo to move to -30.0 degrees (green arrow)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
56.1	137
172.1	138	#1D2100<cr> This second position command is sent to the servo, which moves it to 210.0 degrees (orange arrow)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
56.1	139
172.1	140	#1D-4200<cr> This next command rotates the servo counterclockwise to a position of -420 degrees (red arrow), which means one full rotation of 360 degrees plus 60.0 degrees (420.0 - 360.0), with a virtual position of -420.0 degrees.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
56.1	141
172.1	142	Although the final physical position would be the same as if the servo were commanded to move to -60.0 degrees, the servo is in fact at -420.0 degrees.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
56.1	143
172.1	144	#1D4800<cr> This new command is sent which would then cause the servo to rotate from -420.0 degrees to 480.0 degrees (blue arrow), which would be a total of 900 degrees of clockwise rotation, or 2.5 complete rotations.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
56.1	145
172.1	146	#1D3300<cr> would cause the servo to rotate from 480.0 degrees to 330.0 degrees (yellow arrow).<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
56.1	147
172.1	148	If the servo loses power or is power cycled, it also loses the virtual position associated with that session. For example, if the virtual position was 480.0 degrees before power is cycled, upon power up the servo's position will be read as +120.0 degrees from zero (assuming center position has not been modified). The virtual position range at power-up is [-180.0°, 180.0°].

It is best to do this before the servos are added to an assembly.

197.2	536	EM1 (Enable Motion Profile #1) is the default mode of the LSS and is an easy way to control the servo's position with a single (serial) position command. This mode uses a trapezoidal motion profile which takes care of acceleration, constant speed travel and deceleration. Once the actual position is within a certain value of the target, it switches to a holding algorithm. The LSS commands for Angular Acceleration and Deceleration (AA/CAA/AD/CAD) Angular Stiffness (AS/CAS) and Angular holding stiffness (AH/CAH) affect this motion profile. Modifiers like SD/S and T can be used in EM1.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

204.1	544	This command will disable the built-in trapezoidal motion profile. As such, the servo will move at full speed to the target position using the D/MD action commands. Modifiers like SD/S or T cannot be used in EM0 mode. By default the Filter Position Counter, or "FPC" is active in EM0 mode to smooth out its operation. EM0 is suggested for applications where an external controller will be determining all incremental intermediate positions of the servo's motion, effectively replacing a trajectory manager. To prevent having to send position commands continuously to reach the desired position in EM0/FPC active (FPC >= 2), an internal position engine (IPE) repeats the last position command. Note that in EM0 mode, the servo will effectively always be in status: Holding (if using the query status command).

This has the effect of slowing down both acceleration and deceleration while still allowing the LSS to try to reach the desired position at maximum power at all times. A smaller FPC value will reduce the smoothing effect and a larger value will increase it.

	993	To set blinking, use CLB with the value of your choosing. To activate blinking in multiple status, simply add together the values of the corresponding status. See examples below:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
	994	Ex: #5CLB0<cr> to turn off all blinking (LED always solid)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
	995	Ex: #5CLB1<cr> only blink when limp (1)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
	996	Ex: #5CLB2<cr> only blink when holding (2)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
	997	Ex: #5CLB12<cr> only blink when accel or decel (accel 4 + decel 8 = 12)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
	998	Ex: #5CLB48<cr> only blink when free or travel (free 16 + travel 32 = 48)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
	999	Ex: #5CLB63<cr> blink in all status (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
