In the example above, the servo is rotating to a virtual position of 678.3 degrees. Should the servo not have a target position or be in wheel mode, it will respond with the last target position used.

239 239  The relative move command causes the servo to read its current position and move the specified number of tenths of degrees in the corresponding position. For example if the servo is set to rotate CW (default) and an MD command of 123 is sent to the servo, it will cause the servo to rotate clockwise by 12.3 degrees. Negative commands would cause the servo to rotate in the opposite configured direction.

286 +The position in PWM pulses was retained in order to be backward compatible with the SSC-32 / 32U protocol. This relates the desired angle with an RC standard PWM signal and is further explained in the SSC-32 and [[SSC-32U manuals>>https://www.robotshop.com/media/files/pdf2/lynxmotion_ssc-32u_usb_user_guide.pdf#page=24]]. Without any modifications to configuration considered, and a ±90.0 degrees standard range where 1500 microseconds is centered, a PWM signal of 2334 would set the servo to 165.1 degrees. Valid values for P are [500, 2500]. Values outside this range are corrected / restricted to end points.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

Values outside the [500, 2500] range are given a negative corresponding end point value to indicate they are out of bounds (note that if the servo is physically located at one of the endpoints, it may return a negative number if it is a fraction of a degree beyond the position).
