{Work in Progress}

The LSS Configuration software ("LSS Config" for short) is intended to provide easy access to the main features and functionality of the Lynxmotion Smart Servo Motors, as well as providing access to firmware updates.

NOTE: Only one servo should be connected to the software at any time. The servo must be powered correctly and in serial mode. Should your servo NOT be in serial mode, please refer to the button menu.

Connection

Connection to the servo is done automatically, via any properly installed USB to serial interface like the LSS Adapter board. Ensure the board is recognized by the computer and if not, install the proper drivers. The software automatically scans all standard baud rates using ID254 (broadcast ID) and waits for a reply from the servo connected. 

Firmware Update

The LSS Config serves as the main software to update the servo's onboard firmware / programming. An internet connection is needed in order for the software to check if an online update is available. Do not disconnect the servo during a firmware update. During the update, a progress bar will be displayed in the command line.

Servo Control

The servo control section allows you to visually move the servo and change a variety of parameter.

The large red STOP button will send a LIMP command to the servo.

Configurations

Upon connection, the software will read all configuration values and update the "configurations" section. Visit the LSS Communication Protocol page for more information about commands, actions and configurations.

Changing the values displayed will update the session. Pressing the UPDATE button will write all values to EEPROM, changing the configurations.

Sensor Graph

The sensor graphing feature of the software allows you to select, display and record, with respect to time, the output from all of the servo's sensors.

Command Line

The custom command line interface both allows you to communicate directly with the servo and send commands (and view replies), as well as get status updates of the software.
