1 -Lynxmotion's Servo Erector Set (S.E.S.) is a modular robotic construction system which allows a near infinite variety of different (and complex) robots and systems. Imagine your next robotic creation, get the parts you need to build it, and then control it! Lynxmotion's first Servo Erector Set came out in 2009 and a wide variety of different kits were created using the V1 system, including several robot arms, a variety of bipeds, a plethora of hexapods and more. The V2 system, released in 2019, is an evolution of the original SES V1 and was created with the following goals:
1 +{{include reference="servo-erector-set-system.ses-electronics.WebHome" context="NEW"/}}
2 2  
3 -* Evolution and modernization of the SES V1 modular construction system
4 -* Add advanced features while reducing mechanical complexity
5 -* SES V1 compatibility (whenever possible)
6 -* Compatibility with several 3rd party manufacturer products
7 -* Improved documentation, design and packaging

13 -The V1 system was based on the BotBoarduino Arduino-compatible microcontroller and the SSC-32U servo controller. A variety of servo cable extensions, wiring harnesses and related cabling was used to connect everything together. The V2 system focuses on smart servo cables while still permitting RC control. The main electronics for the V2 include only an adapter and power hub.

19 -The Lynxmotion Servo Erector Set has always included both metric and imperial dimensions, and the V1 system used almost 150 different screws, nuts, washers, standoffs and related accessories. The V2 reduces this down to less than 10, focusing 2-56 threaded pan head screws and 2-56 nuts for bracket connections, and M3 screws for standoffs and servo horn mounting.

25 -The first SES system used a variety of different Hitec RC servos, and brackets were designed to adapt these servos to to the Erector Set. Although a standard RC servo case size existed for many Hitec servos, several series of brackets had to be created to accommodate different servo sizes (micro, standard and large). Some brackets were designed to have one specific application (for example the body panels for a specific hexapod design) while most were meant to be as modular as possible. In all around 70 brackets were created for the V1 SES system. Disregarding the Hitec RC servo-specific brackets, the remaining brackets from the V1 can mostly be used for the V2 system. The new Lynxmotion Smart Servos were designed to be used with the v1 bracket system in order to create a modular robotic building system called the Lynxmotion Servo Erector Set (S.E.S.) v2. It is therefore entirely possible to create a new robot which uses elements from both the V1 and V2 systems. The SES V1 provided an option for 1:1 external gearing, and the V2 system also includes the option for adding external gears (1:1 and 1:3) which can be mounted to the servo itself as well as using an external gearbox bracket. Gears use a standard pitch of 16, allowing them to be compatible with other spur gears and gear racks of the same pitch.

37 -There is a variety of software available for the erector set V1 (SSC-32 and SSC-32U RC servo controllers) and V2 (smart servos). Software for the V2 includes the LSS Config, which is a tool to qeasily control, configure and update individual smart servos, a new version of FlowArm designed for using the smart servos, as well as libraries in Arduino, Python and ROS. Additional software to come.

41 -= SES Mounting Pattern =
42 -
43 -The SES mounting pattern was based on two holes which are used for mounting objects to a Hitec standard servo horn such as the Hitec HS-422. The holes are meant for 2-56 (imperial) threaded screws. Screws which are 1/4 inch long are able to hold together two brackets with enough thread protruding to add a 2-56 nut. In most situations only two screws are needed, though four screws can be used. The mounting pattern has evolved to include three variations:
