11 -The Lynxmotion Smart Servos (LSS) are new, compact, modular and configurable actuators designed to be an evolution of the standard RC servo for use in multi degree-of-freedom robotics, animatronics, custom RC projects and more. The servo lineup currently includes three smart servos which appear physically the same, sharing the same dimensions, mounting points and output spline, but differing in maximum torque and speed. The servos are core modules of the next generation Lynxmotion Servo Erector Set (S.E.S.) modular robotic construction system and a wide variety of modular brackets, mechanics and electronics have been designed around them. "Smart" means each servos' parameters are user modifiable and configurable, there is sensor feedback, built-in safety features, and they are although meant to be connected to a microcontroller, can be used as advanced RC actuators. The custom LSS serial communication protocol was built upon the SSC-32 / 32U protocol and makes communicating with, controlling and configuring the servos easy and intuitive.
11 +The Lynxmotion Smart Servos (LSS) PRO series are modular, configurable actuators designed to be a significantly more powerful and accurate evolution of the Lynxmotion Smart Servo (LSS) hobby series of actuators for use in semi-professional or professional multi degree-of-freedom robot arms, animatronics, research projects and more. The PRO lineup currently includes three servos, two of which appear physically similar, sharing the same cap and plate, but differing in maximum torque and speed as well as gearbox size and mounting. The third actuator is physically the largest of the three and offers highest torque.

13 -NOTE: The Lynxmotion Smart Servo motors, as well as the SES modular construction system is NOT open source. As such, RobotShop cannot provide the schematics for the electronics, nor any details relating to the components used internally. Opening the servos without the express permission from RobotShop will void the warranty.
13 +The servos form the basis of the next generation Lynxmotion Servo Erector Set Professional modular robotic construction system (S.E.S. PRO) and a variety of modular brackets, mechanics and electronics have been designed around them. "Smart" means each servos' parameters are user modifiable and configurable, there is sensor feedback, built-in safety features, and although meant to be connected to a computer, can be connected to a microcontroller or device with CAN communication. The custom PRO LSS serial communication protocol was built upon the LSS & SSC-32 / 32U protocol and makes communicating with, controlling and configuring these PRO servos easy and intuitive.

RobotShop has provided sample Arduino code for the onboard electronics, but cannot provide details relating to schematic or additional components used internally.

32 -The easiest way to differentiate between the three models is based on the sticker, located at the rear of the servo. Lynxmotion software automatically determines which model is connected. Detailed product specifications regarding voltage, torque, speed, temperature and more can be found on the [[LSS - Specifications>>doc:lynxmotion-smart-servo.lss-specifications.WebHome]] page. Note that these servos are intended primarily for hobby, educational and semi-professional use. They are not intended for industrial, medical or related applications and are not certified as such.
28 +From the outside, the small and medium servo are very similar, though the small actuator is considerably lighter. It is easiest to differentiate between the small and medium PRO servos with the side plate removed: the small actuator incorporates a small stepper motor, whereas the medium uses a stepper motor which takes up most of the cavity within the frame.

36 -The servos are meant to be powered from either a battery source or a DC wall adapter. When selecting a power source, ensure it will be able to provide sufficient current to power all of the servos in the project. Please refer to the [[LSS - Specifications>>doc:lynxmotion-smart-servo.lss-specifications.WebHome]] page for information regarding input voltage and current for each servo motor.
32 +The PRO servos are meant to be powered from either a battery source or a DC wall adapter equipped with an XT60 connector. When selecting a power source, ensure it will be able to provide sufficient current to power all of the servos in the project. Only provide power to ONE of the two XT60 connectors. Please refer to the LSS PRO - Specifications page for more information.
