Coleman Benson 20.1 11 The Lynxmotion Smart Servo (LSS) PRO serial protocol was created in order to be as simple and straightforward as possible from a user perspective ("human readable format"), while at the same time staying compact and robust yet highly versatile. The protocol was based on Lynxmotion's Smart Servo (LSS) protocol, which itself was based on the SSC-32 & SSC-32U RC servo controllers. The LSS PRO series and normal LSS share many of the same commands, but because of higher angular precision, slightly different operation and different features, the two protocols do not fully overlap.
Eric Nantel 1.2 12
13 In order to be able to control each servo individually with commands, the first step should be to assign a different ID number to each servo (see details on the Configure ID, or "CID" command [[here>>doc:||anchor="HIdentificationNumber28ID29"]]). Only the servo(s) which have been configured to a specific ID will act on a command sent to that ID. There is currently no CRC or checksum implemented as part of the protocol.
Coleman Benson 9.1 14
15 = Action Commands =
16
Coleman Benson 23.1 17 Action commands tell the servo, within that session, to do something (i.e. "take an action"). The types of action commands which can be sent are described below, and they cannot be combined with other commands such as queries or configurations. Only one action command can be sent at a time. Action commands are session-specific, therefore once a servo is power cycled, it will not have any "memory" of previous actions or [[virtual positions>>||anchor="HVirtualAngularPosition"]] (described below). Action commands are sent serially to the servo and must be sent in the following format:
Coleman Benson 9.1 18
Coleman Benson 11.1 19 1. Start with a number sign **#** (Unicode Character: U+0023)
20 1. Servo ID number as an integer (assigning an ID described below)
21 1. Action command (one or more letters, no whitespace, capital or lowercase from the list below)
22 1. Action value in the correct units with no decimal
23 1. End with a carriage return **\r** or **<cr>** Unicode Character (U+000D)
Coleman Benson 9.1 24
Coleman Benson 11.1 25 (((
Coleman Benson 20.1 26 Ex: #5D130000<cr>
Coleman Benson 9.1 27
Coleman Benson 20.1 28 This sends a serial command to all servo's RX pins which are connected to the bus and only servo(s) with ID #5 will move to a position (13000 in hundredths of degrees) of 130.00 degrees. Any servo on the bus which does not have ID 5 will take no action when receiving this command.

Coleman Benson 23.1 49 <h2>Queries</h2>
Coleman Benson 12.1 50 <div class="cmdcnt"><div class="cmdpad"></div><div class="cmdtxt">
Coleman Benson 24.1 51 Query commands request information from the servo. Query commands are also similar to action and configuration commands and must use the following format:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 52
53 1. Start with a number sign **#** (Unicode Character: U+0023)
54 1. Servo ID number as an integer
55 1. Query command (one to four letters, no spaces, capital or lower case)
56 1. End with a carriage return **&#92;r** or **&lt;cr&gt;** Unicode Character (U+000D)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
57
Coleman Benson 20.1 58 Ex: #5QD&lt;cr&gt; Query the position in (hundredths of) degrees for servo with ID #5<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 59
Coleman Benson 20.1 60 The query will return a serial string (almost instantaneously) via the servo's Tx in the following format:
Coleman Benson 12.1 61
62 1. Start with an asterisk * (Unicode Character: U+0023)
63 1. Servo ID number as an integer
64 1. Query command (one to four letters, no spaces, capital letters)
65 1. The reported value in the units described, no decimals.
66 1. End with a carriage return **&#92;r** or **&lt;cr&gt;** Unicode Character (U+000D)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
67
68 There is currently no option to control how fast a servo replies after it has received a query command, therefore when sending a query command to the bus, the controller should be prepared to immediately "listen" for and parse the reply. Sending multiple queries to multiple servos on a bus in fast succession may result in replies overlapping and giving incorrect or corrupt data. As such, the controller should receive a reply before sending a new query command. A reply to the query sent above might be:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
69
Coleman Benson 20.1 70 Ex: *5QD13000&lt;cr&gt;<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 71
Coleman Benson 20.1 72 This indicates that servo #5 is currently at 130.00 degrees (13000 tenths of degrees).

74
Coleman Benson 24.1 75 <h2>Configurations</h2>
76
Coleman Benson 12.1 77 <div class="cmdcnt"><div class="cmdpad"></div><div class="cmdtxt">
78 Configuration commands and corresponding values affect a servo's defaults which are written to and read from the servo's EEPROM.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
79
Coleman Benson 24.1 80 These configurations are retained in memory after the servo is reset or power is cut / lost. Some configuration commands affect the session, while others do not. In the Command table below, the column "Session" denotes if the configuration command affects the session. Not all action commands have a corresponding configuration command and vice versa. Configuration commands are not cumulative; this means that if two of the same configuration commands are sent, one after the next, only the last configuration is used and stored.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 81
82 The format to send a configuration command is identical to that of an action command:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
83
84 1. Start with a number sign **#** (Unicode Character: U+0023)
85 1. Servo ID number as an integer
86 1. Configuration command (two to four letters, no spaces, capital or lower case)
87 1. Configuration value in the correct units with no decimal
88 1. End with a carriage return **&#92;r** or **&lt;cr&gt;** Unicode Character (U+000D)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
89
Coleman Benson 24.1 90 Ex: #5CO-500&lt;cr&gt;<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 91
Coleman Benson 24.1 92 This configures an absolute origin offset ("CO") with respect to factory origin of servo with ID #5 and changes the offset for that session to -5.00 degrees (500 hundredths of degrees). Once the servo is powered off and on, zeroing the servo will cause it to move to -5.00 degrees with respect to the factory origin and report its position as 0 degrees. Configuration commands can be undone / reset either by sending the servo's default value for that configuration, or by doing a factory reset that clears all configurations (through the button menu or with DEFAULT command described below).<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 93
94 **Session vs Configuration Query**<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
95
96 By default, the query command returns the session's value. Should no action commands have been sent to change the session value, it will return the value saved in EEPROM which will either be the servo's default, or modified with a configuration command. In order to query the value stored in EEPROM (configuration), add a '1' to the query command:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
97
Coleman Benson 25.1 98 Ex: #5CSR10&lt;cr&gt; immediately sets the maximum speed for servo #5 to 10rpm (explained below) and changes the value in memory.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 99
100 After RESET, a command of #5SR4&lt;cr&gt; sets the session's speed to 4rpm, but does not change the configuration value in memory. Therefore:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
101
102 #5QSR&lt;cr&gt; or #5QSR0&lt;cr&gt; would return *5QSR4&lt;cr&gt; which represents the value for that session, whereas<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
103
Coleman Benson 25.1 104 #5QSR1&lt;cr&gt; would return *5QSR10&lt;cr&gt; which represents the value in EEPROM
Coleman Benson 12.1 105 <div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div></div></div>
106
107 <div class="cmdcnt"><div class="cmdpad"></div><div class="cmdtxt">
Coleman Benson 25.1 108 The ability to store a "virtual angular position" is a feature which allows for rotation beyond 360 degrees, permitting multiple rotations of the output horn, moving the center position and more. The "absolute position" would be the angle of the output shaft with respect to a 360.00 degree circle and can be obtained by taking the modulus (with respect to 360 degrees) of the value. For example if the virtual position is reported as 153350 (or 1533.50 degrees), taking the modulus would give 93.5 degrees (36000 * 4 + 9350 = 153350) as the absolute position (assuming no origin offset).<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 109
110 [[image:LSS-servo-positions.jpg]]<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
111
112 In this example, the gyre direction (explained below, a.k.a. "rotation direction") is positive (clockwise), and origin offset has not been modified. Each square represents 30 degrees. The following command is sent:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
113
Coleman Benson 25.1 114 #1D-3000&lt;cr&gt; This causes the servo to move to -30.00 degrees (green arrow)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 115
Coleman Benson 25.1 116 #1D21000&lt;cr&gt; This second position command is sent to the servo, which moves it to 210.00 degrees (orange arrow)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 117
Coleman Benson 25.1 118 #1D-42000&lt;cr&gt; This next command rotates the servo counterclockwise to a position of -420.00 degrees (red arrow), which means one full rotation of 360 degrees plus 60.00 degrees (420.00 - 360.00), with a virtual position of -420.0 degrees.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 119
Coleman Benson 25.1 120 Although the final physical position would be the same as if the servo were commanded to move to -60.00 degrees, the servo is in fact at -420.00 degrees.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 121
Coleman Benson 25.1 122 #1D48000&lt;cr&gt; This new command is sent which would then cause the servo to rotate from -420.00 degrees to 480.00 degrees (blue arrow), which would be a total of 900 degrees of clockwise rotation, or 2.5 complete rotations.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 123
Coleman Benson 25.1 124 #1D33000&lt;cr&gt; would cause the servo to rotate from 480.0 degrees to 330.00 degrees (yellow arrow).<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 12.1 125
Coleman Benson 25.1 126 If the servo loses power or is power cycled, it also loses the virtual position associated with that session. For example, if the virtual position was 480.00 degrees before power is cycled, upon power up the servo's position will be read as +120.00 degrees from zero (assuming center position has not been modified). The virtual position range at power-up is [-180.00°, 180.00°].

213 ====== __Position in Degrees (**D**)__ ======
214
215
Coleman Benson 28.1 216 Example: #5D1456<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 217
Coleman Benson 28.1 218 This moves the servo to an angle of 145.6 degrees, where the center (0) position is centered. Negative values (ex. -176 representing -17.6 degrees) could also be used. A full circle would be from -1800 to 1800 degrees. A value of 2700 would be the same angle (absolute position) as -900, except the servo would move in a different direction.
Coleman Benson 19.1 219
Coleman Benson 28.1 220 Larger values are permitted and allow for multi-turn functionality using the concept of virtual position (explained above).
Coleman Benson 19.1 221
Coleman Benson 28.1 222 Query Position in Degrees (**QD**)
Coleman Benson 19.1 223
Coleman Benson 28.1 224 Example: #5QD<cr> might return *5QD132<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 225
Coleman Benson 28.1 226 This means the servo is located at 13.2 degrees.
Coleman Benson 19.1 227
Coleman Benson 28.1 228 Query Target Position in Degrees (**QDT**)
Coleman Benson 19.1 229
Coleman Benson 28.1 230 Ex: #5QDT<cr> might return *5QDT6783<cr>
231
Coleman Benson 19.1 232 The query target position command returns the target virtual position during and after an action which results in a rotation of the servo horn. 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.
233
234 ====== __(Relative) Move in Degrees (**MD**)__ ======
235
236
Coleman Benson 28.1 237 Example: #5MD123<cr>
238
Coleman Benson 19.1 239 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.
240
241 ====== __Wheel Mode in Degrees (**WD**)__ ======
242
243
Coleman Benson 28.1 244 Ex: #5WD90<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 245
Coleman Benson 28.1 246 This command sets the servo to wheel mode where it will rotate in the desired direction at the selected speed. The example above would have the servo rotate at 90.0 degrees per second clockwise (assuming factory default configurations).
Coleman Benson 19.1 247
Coleman Benson 28.1 248 Query Wheel Mode in Degrees (**QWD**)
Coleman Benson 19.1 249
Coleman Benson 28.1 250 Ex: #5QWD<cr> might return *5QWD90<cr>
251
Coleman Benson 19.1 252 The servo replies with the angular speed in degrees per second. A negative sign would indicate the opposite direction (for factory default a negative value would be counter clockwise).
253
254 ====== __Wheel Mode in RPM (**WR**)__ ======
255
256
Coleman Benson 28.1 257 Ex: #5WR40<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 258
Coleman Benson 28.1 259 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).
Coleman Benson 19.1 260
Coleman Benson 28.1 261 Query Wheel Mode in RPM (**QWR**)
Coleman Benson 19.1 262
Coleman Benson 28.1 263 Ex: #5QWR<cr> might return *5QWR40<cr>
264
Coleman Benson 19.1 265 The servo replies with the angular speed in rpm. A negative sign would indicate the opposite direction (for factory default a negative value would be counter clockwise).

Coleman Benson 19.1 273
Coleman Benson 28.1 274 (% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
275 ====== The relative move in PWM command causes the servo to read its current position and move by the specified number of PWM signal. For example if the servo is set to rotate CW (default) and an M command of 1500 is sent to the servo, it will cause the servo to rotate clockwise by 90 degrees. Negative PWM value would cause the servo to rotate in the opposite configured direction. ======
Coleman Benson 19.1 276
Coleman Benson 28.1 277 ====== __Query Status (**Q**)__ ======
Coleman Benson 19.1 278
279
Coleman Benson 28.1 280 The status query describes what the servo is currently doing. The query returns an integer which must be looked up in the table below.
Coleman Benson 19.1 281
Coleman Benson 28.1 282 Ex: #5Q<cr> might return *5Q6<cr>, which indicates the motor is holding a position.

298 Send a Q1 command to know which limit has been reached (described below).
299 )))
300
Coleman Benson 28.1 301 If a safety limit has been reached and exceeded, the LED will flash red and the servo will stop providing torque (no longer react to commands which cause the motor to rotate). In order to determine which limit has been reached, send a Q1 command. The servo must be RESET in order to return to normal operation, though if a limit is still detected (for example the servo is still too hot), it will revert back to Safe Mode.

308 | |ex: *5Q3<cr>|Temperature limit has been reached|The servo is too hot to continue operating safely.
309
310 ====== __Limp (**L**)__ ======
311
312
Coleman Benson 28.1 313 Example: #5L<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 314
Coleman Benson 28.1 315 This action causes the servo to go "limp". The microcontroller will still be powered, but the motor will not. As an emergency safety feature, should the robot not be doing what it is supposed to or risks damage, use the broadcast ID to set all servos limp #254L<cr>.
316
Coleman Benson 19.1 317 ====== __Halt & Hold (**H**)__ ======
318
319
Coleman Benson 28.1 320 Example: #5H<cr>
321
Coleman Benson 19.1 322 This command causes the servo to stop immediately and hold that angular position. It overrides whatever the servo might be doing at the time the command is received (accelerating, travelling, deccelerating, etc.)

325
Coleman Benson 29.1 326 ====== __Origin Offset (**O**)__ ======
Coleman Benson 19.1 327
328
Coleman Benson 29.1 329 Example: #5O2400<cr>This command allows you to change the origin of the servo in relation to the factory zero position for that session. As with all action commands, the setting will be lost upon servo reset / power cycle. Origin offset commands are not cumulative and always relate to factory zero. In the first image, the origin at factory offset '0' (centered).

Coleman Benson 29.1 339 Origin Offset Query (**QO**)
Coleman Benson 19.1 340
Coleman Benson 29.1 341 Example: #5QO<cr> might return *5QO-13
Coleman Benson 19.1 342
Coleman Benson 29.1 343 This allows you to query the angle (in tenths of degrees) of the origin in relation to the factory zero position. In this example, the new origin is at -1.3 degrees from the factory zero.
Coleman Benson 19.1 344
Coleman Benson 29.1 345 Configure Origin Offset (**CO**)
Coleman Benson 19.1 346
Coleman Benson 29.1 347 Example: #5CO-24<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 348
349 This command allows you to change the origin of the servo in relation to the factory zero position in EEPROM. The setting will be saved upon servo reset / power cycle. Origin offset configuration commands are not cumulative and always relate to factory zero. The new origin is also used in RC mode. In the example, the new origin will be at -2.4 degrees from the factory zero.
350
351 ====== __Angular Range (**AR**)__ ======
352
Coleman Benson 29.1 353 Example: #5AR1800<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 354
Coleman Benson 29.1 355 This command allows you to temporarily change the total angular range of the servo in tenths of degrees. This applies to the Position in Pulse (P) command and RC mode. The default for (P) and RC mode is 1800 (180.0 degrees total, or ±90.0 degrees). The image below shows a standard -180.0 to +180.0 range, with no offset:
Coleman Benson 19.1 356
Coleman Benson 29.1 357 [[image:https://wiki.lynxmotion.com/info/wiki/lynxmotion/download/lynxmotion-smart-servo-pro/lss-p-communication-protocol/WebHome/LSS-servo-default.jpg||alt="LSS-servo-default.jpg"]]
Coleman Benson 19.1 358
Coleman Benson 29.1 359 Below, the angular range is restricted to 180.0 degrees, or -90.0 to +90.0. The center has remained unchanged.
Coleman Benson 19.1 360

Coleman Benson 19.1 362
363
Coleman Benson 29.1 364 Finally, the angular range action command (ex. #5AR1800<cr>) and origin offset action command (ex. #5O-1200<cr>) are used to move both the center and limit the angular range:

Coleman Benson 29.1 366 [[image:https://wiki.lynxmotion.com/info/wiki/lynxmotion/download/lynxmotion-smart-servo-pro/lss-p-communication-protocol/WebHome/LSS-servo-ar-o-1.jpg||alt="LSS-servo-ar-o-1.jpg"]]
Coleman Benson 19.1 367
368
Coleman Benson 29.1 369 Query Angular Range (**QAR**)
Coleman Benson 19.1 370
Coleman Benson 29.1 371 Example: #5QAR<cr> might return *5AR1800, indicating the total angular range is 180.0 degrees.
Coleman Benson 19.1 372
Coleman Benson 29.1 373 Configure Angular Range (**CAR**)
Coleman Benson 19.1 374
Coleman Benson 29.1 375 This command allows you to change the total angular range of the servo in tenths of degrees in EEPROM. The setting will be saved upon servo reset / power cycle.
Coleman Benson 19.1 376
377 ====== __Angular Acceleration (**AA**)__ ======
378
Coleman Benson 29.1 379 The default value for angular acceleration is 100. Accepts values of between 1 and 100. Increments of 10 degrees per second squared.
Coleman Benson 19.1 380
Coleman Benson 29.1 381 Ex: #5AA30<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 382
Coleman Benson 29.1 383 This sets the angular acceleration for servo #5 to 30 degrees per second squared (°/s^^2^^).
Coleman Benson 19.1 384
Coleman Benson 29.1 385 Query Angular Acceleration (**QAA**)
Coleman Benson 19.1 386
Coleman Benson 29.1 387 Ex: #5QAA<cr> might return *5QAA30<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 388
Coleman Benson 29.1 389 This returns the servo's angular acceleration in degrees per second squared (°/s^^2^^).
Coleman Benson 19.1 390
Coleman Benson 29.1 391 Configure Angular Acceleration (**CAA**)
Coleman Benson 19.1 392
Coleman Benson 29.1 393 Ex: #5CAA30<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 394
395 This writes the angular acceleration of servo #5 to 30 degrees per second squared (°/s^^2^^) to EEPROM.
396
397 ====== __Angular Deceleration (**AD**)__ ======
398
Coleman Benson 29.1 399 The default value for angular deceleration is 100. Accepts values of between 1 and 100. Increments of 10 degrees per second squared.
Coleman Benson 19.1 400
Coleman Benson 29.1 401 Ex: #5AD30<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 402

Coleman Benson 29.1 405 Query Angular Deceleration (**QAD**)
Coleman Benson 19.1 406
Coleman Benson 29.1 407 Ex: #5QAD<cr> might return *5QAD30<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 408
Coleman Benson 29.1 409 This returns the servo's angular deceleration in degrees per second squared (°/s^^2^^).
Coleman Benson 19.1 410
Coleman Benson 29.1 411 Configure Angular Deceleration (**CAD**)
Coleman Benson 19.1 412
Coleman Benson 29.1 413 Ex: #5CAD30<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 414
Coleman Benson 29.1 415 This writes the angular deceleration of servo #5 to 30 degrees per second squared (°/s^^2^^) to EEPROM.
Coleman Benson 19.1 416
417 ====== __Gyre Direction (**G**)__ ======
418
Coleman Benson 29.1 419 "Gyre" is defined as a circular course or motion. The effect of changing the gyre direction is as if you were to use a mirror image of a circle. By default: CW = 1; CCW = -1.
Coleman Benson 19.1 420
Coleman Benson 29.1 421 Ex: #5G-1<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 422
Coleman Benson 29.1 423 This command will cause servo #5's positions to be inverted, effectively causing the servo to rotate in the opposite direction given the same command. For example in a 2WD robot, servos are often physically installed back to back, therefore setting one of the servos to a negative gyration, the same wheel command (ex WR30) to both servos will cause the robot to move forward or backward rather than rotate.
Coleman Benson 19.1 424
Coleman Benson 29.1 425 Query Gyre Direction (**QG**)Ex: #5QG<cr> might return *5QG-1<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 426
Coleman Benson 29.1 427 The value returned above means the servo is in a counter-clockwise gyration. Sending a #5WR30 command will rotate the servo in a counter-clockwise gyration at 30 RPM.
Coleman Benson 19.1 428
Coleman Benson 29.1 429 Configure Gyre (**CG**)
Coleman Benson 19.1 430
Coleman Benson 29.1 431 Ex: #5CG-1<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 432
433 This changes the gyre direction as described above and also writes to EEPROM.
434
435 ====== __First Position__ ======
436
Coleman Benson 29.1 437 In certain cases, a user might want to have the servo move to a specific angle upon power up; we refer to this as "first position" (a.k.a. "initial position"). The factory default has no first position value stored in EEPROM and therefore upon power up, the servo remains limp until a position (or hold command) is assigned. Note that the number should be restricted to -1790 (-179.0 degrees) to +1790 (179.0 degrees) and values beyond this will be changed to 1800.Query First Position in Degrees (**QFD**)Ex: #5QFD<cr> might return *5QFD900<cr>The reply above indicates that servo with ID 5 has a first position of 90.0 degrees. If there is no first position value stored, the reply will be DIS.Configure First Position in Degrees (**CFD**)Ex: #5CFD900<cr>This configuration command means the servo, when set to smart mode, will immediately move to 90.0 degrees upon power up. Sending a CFD command without a number (Ex. #5CFD<cr>) results in the servo remaining limp upon power up. In order to remove the first position, send no value, ex: #5CFD<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 438
439 ====== __Maximum Speed in Degrees (**SD**)__ ======
440
Coleman Benson 29.1 441 Ex: #5SD1800<cr>This command sets the servo's maximum speed for motion commands in tenths of degrees per second for that session. In the example above, the servo's maximum speed for that session would be set to 180.0 degrees per second. The servo's maximum speed cannot be set higher than its physical limit at a given voltage. The SD action command overrides CSD (described below) for that session. Upon reset or power cycle, the servo reverts to the value associated with CSD as described below. Note that SD and SR (described below) are effectively the same, but allow the user to specify the speed in either unit. The last command (either SR or SD) received is what the servo uses for that session.Query Speed in Degrees (**QSD**)Ex: #5QSD<cr> might return *5QSD1800<cr>By default QSD will return the current session value, which is set to the value of CSD as reset/power cycle and changed whenever an SD/SR command is processed. If #5QSD1<cr> is sent, the configured maximum speed (CSD value) will be returned instead. You can also query the current speed using "2" and the current target travel speed using "3". See the table below for an example:
Coleman Benson 19.1 442
443 |**Command sent**|**Returned value (1/10 °)**
Coleman Benson 29.1 444 |ex: #5QSD<cr>|Session value for maximum speed (set by latest SD/SR command)
445 |ex: #5QSD1<cr>|Configured maximum speed in EEPROM (set by CSD/CSR)
446 |ex: #5QSD2<cr>|Instantaneous speed (same as QWD)
447 |ex: #5QSD3<cr>|Target travel speed
Coleman Benson 19.1 448
Coleman Benson 29.1 449 Configure Speed in Degrees (**CSD**)Ex: #5CSD1800<cr>Using the CSD command sets the servo's maximum speed which is saved in EEPROM. In the example above, the servo's maximum speed will be set to 180.0 degrees per second. When the servo is powered on (or after a reset), the CSD value is used. Note that CSD and CSR (described below) are effectively the same, but allow the user to specify the speed in either unit. The last command (either CSR or CSD) is what the servo uses for that session.
Coleman Benson 19.1 450
451 ====== __Maximum Speed in RPM (**SR**)__ ======
452
Coleman Benson 29.1 453 Ex: #5SR45<cr>This command sets the servo's maximum speed for motion commands in rpm for that session. In the example above, the servo's maximum speed for that session would be set to 45rpm. The servo's maximum speed cannot be set higher than its physical limit at a given voltage. SR overrides CSR (described below) for that session. Upon reset or power cycle, the servo reverts to the value associated with CSR as described below. Note that SD (described above) and SR are effectively the same, but allow the user to specify the speed in either unit. The last command (either SR or SD) received is what the servo uses for that session.Query Speed in RPM (**QSR**)Ex: #5QSR<cr> might return *5QSR45<cr>By default QSR will return the current session value, which is set to the value of CSR as reset/power cycle and changed whenever an SD/SR command is processed. If #5QSR1<cr> is sent, the configured maximum speed (CSR value) will be returned instead. You can also query the current speed using "2" and the current target travel speed using "3". See the table below for an example:
Coleman Benson 19.1 454
455 |**Command sent**|**Returned value (1/10 °)**

Coleman Benson 29.1 461 Configure Speed in RPM (**CSR**)Ex: #5CSR45<cr>Using the CSR command sets the servo's maximum speed which is saved in EEPROM. In the example above, the servo's maximum speed will be set to 45rpm. When the servo is powered on (or after a reset), the CSR value is used. Note that CSD and CSR are effectively the same, but allow the user to specify the speed in either unit. The last command (either CSR or CSD) received is what the servo uses for that session.

468 Example: #5D0SD180<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 469
Coleman Benson 30.1 470 (% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
471 Modifier (SD) is only for a position (D) or relative position (MD) action and determines the speed of the move in tenths of degrees per second. A speed modifier (SD) of 180 would cause the servo to rotate from its current position to the desired absolute or relative position at a speed of 18 degrees per second.

483 ====== __Timed move (**T**) modifier__ ======
Coleman Benson 19.1 484
Coleman Benson 30.1 485 Example: #5D15000T2500<cr>
Coleman Benson 19.1 486
Coleman Benson 30.1 487 Timed move can be used only as a modifier for a position (D, MD) actions. The units are in milliseconds, so a timed move of 2500 milliseconds would cause the servo to rotate from its current position to the desired position in 2.5 seconds. The onboard controller will attempt to ensure that the move is performed entirely at the desired velocity, though differences in torque may cause it to not be exact. This command is in place to ensure backwards compatibility with the SSC-32 / 32U protocol.
Coleman Benson 19.1 488
Coleman Benson 30.1 489 **Note:** If the calculated speed at which a servo must rotate for a timed move is greater than its maximum speed (which depends on voltage and load), then it will move at its maximum speed, and the time of the move may be longer than requested
