353 353  This command sets the servo to wheel mode where it will rotate in the desired direction at the selected rpm. Wheel mode (a.k.a. "continuous rotation") has the servo operate like a geared DC motor. The servo's maximum rpm cannot be set higher than its physical limit at a given voltage. The example above would have the servo rotate at 40 rpm clockwise (assuming factory default configurations).

868 +This command allows you to control when the RGB LED will blink the user set color (see RGB LED command for details). This is very useful when visually seeing what the servo is doing. You can turn on or off blinking for various LSS status. The command requires that the servo be RESET. Here is the list and their associated value:

881 +(% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
882 +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:Ex: #5CLB0 to turn off all blinking (LED always solid)Ex: #5CLB1 only blink when limp (1)Ex: #5CLB2 only blink when holding (2)Ex: #5CLB12 only blink when accel or decel (accel 4 + decel 8 = 12)Ex: #5CLB48 only blink when free or travel (free 16 + travel 32 = 48)Ex: #5CLB63 blink in all status (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32)RESETTING the servo is needed.
