11 -The Lynxmotion Smart Servo PRO Configuration Software (“LSS PRO Config” for short) is intended to be a tool to quickly interact with the Lynxmotion Professional Smart Servos (LSS-P) loaded with our Lynxmotion firmware. Features include sending action and configuration commands, queries (and receiving the reply), updating the firmware, monitoring sensor data and more. The software works on Windows 7 operating systems and above.
11 +The LSS Configuration software ("LSS Config" for short) is intended to provide easy access to the main features and functionality of the [[Lynxmotion Smart Servo Motors>>doc:lynxmotion-smart-servo.WebHome]], as well as providing access to firmware updates.
12 12  
13 -Note: The software can be connected to multiple servos, but the interface can only control and communicate with one at any time (unless using the free format commands described below). Each servo must have a unique ID. The servo(s) must be powered correctly and connected to the computer via USB from the first servo in the BUS.
13 +NOTE: The software can be connected to multiple servos, but the interface can only control one at any time. The servo(s) must be powered correctly and in serial mode. Should your servo(s) NOT be in serial mode, please refer to the [[button menu>>doc:lynxmotion-smart-servo.lss-button-menu.WebHome]].

55 -1. This reset the servo to factory default settings, removing all configurations, including the ID. More information [[HERE>>doc:ses-pro.lss-pro.lss-p-communication-protocol.WebHome||anchor="HDefault26confirm"]]
56 -1. This command halts the actuator at whatever angle it is (whether during a motion or already at an angle) and causes it to hold that position (motor is powered and holding). The following command is sent to all servos, not just the one connected via USB.
57 -\\Command sent: #254H<cr>

59 -1. (((
60 -This command halts the actuator at whatever angle it is (whether during a motion or already at an angle) and causes it to hold that position (motor is powered and holding). The following command is sent to all servos, not just the one connected via USB.
43 +Connection to the servo is done automatically via any properly installed USB to serial interface like the [[LSS Adapter board>>doc:servo-erector-set-system.ses-electronics.ses-modules.lss-adapter-board.WebHome]]. Once the servo is powered and properly connected to the computer, the COM port should appear in the COM port list. Ensure the board is recognized by the computer and if not, install the proper drivers. If you have multiple communication ports active, go to Windows -> Device Manager to determine which is appropriate for the USB to serial adapter you are using. Click CONNECT to connect to the servo. If you wish to change the COM port selected you must disconnect, select the correct COM port and reconnect.
61 61  
62 -Command sent: #254L<cr>
45 +If you are not sure which COM port to select, in Windows, go to Device Manager -> Ports (COM & LPT) and select the port associated with the USB to serial device. If it is still not clear which is the proper COM port, simply disconnect and reconnec the USB cable with Device Manager open. The proper COM port will disapear (when disconnecting the USB cable) and reappear (when connecting the USB cable).
63 63  
64 - Just like the emergency stop button the 36V large power supply which is provided with each PRO arm, the E-Stop is meant to be under emergency only, as power is cut to all motors, which may result in joints rotating because of high torque being applied. In the case of a robotic arm, __the arm may fall and damage itself__ or whatever is in its environment.

47 +=== Scan ===
66 66  
67 -== Status ==
49 +{{lightbox image="lynxmotion-smart-servo.lss-configuration-software.WebHome@lss-config-20.7.14.2-scan-options.png" title="LSS Config - 20.7.14.2 - Scan options" width="124"/}}
68 68  
69 -As a servo is intended to be moved to specific angles, the position of the servo, to 0.01 degrees of accuracy, is displayed at the bottom left of the interface.
51 +The next step once the COM port has been selected is to scan the port. The software can send commands to (and listen for a reply from) all servo IDs (0 to 250) at all standard baud rates on the selected COM port. In the pop-up, select the baud rates which you would like to scan. You press the **ALL** button to select all baud rates, press the individual check boxes to toggle each select or press the **<<** button to select only the corresponding baud rate, deselecting all others. You may also limit the IDs to scan for. When in doubt, leave all baud rates selected.
70 70  
71 -[[image:LSS-P-Config-Status.png]]
53 +Once you press OK, the scan will start by turning off the LED of all servos on the selected baud rates (#254LED0\r). Then, each selected baud rate is scanned for servos. The command line interface will include messages for all servos found (or not found) at each baud rate, as well as any conflicts discovered (two or more LSS at the same location). In this case, a location is defined as a baud rate and ID pair.
72 72  
73 -This is a section to directly give information to the user on what's happening with their actuator.
55 +This process will take a few seconds and once completed, a list of all available servos with which the software was able to communicate will appear in the list next to "Servo" (in the top orange Connection field of the interface) as a drop-down. All servos correctly identified on the bus will have their LED turn green (session specific as opposed to configured) to indicate no conflict. If two or more servos have the same ID, those servo's LED will turn red for that session, indicating an issue or overlap in IDs. To resolve this, you will need to change the ID of those servos to be distinct (they will need to be connected individually/separately from the other conflicting servos).
74 74  
75 -1. The Position shows the current angle of the output shaft of the servo in relation to its configured origin (0 degree) angle (including any adjustment to the Origin Offset). It also displays angles over 360 degrees, and it’s important to note this is a calculated position as the internal sensor can only read 0 to 360 degrees. The multi-turn angle is retained even after a power cycle.
76 -1. Status of what the actuator is currently doing. More information HERE
77 -1. Errors that are happening. More information HERE
57 +**GREEN LED**: No Conflict
78 78  
79 -Note: Most errors will require the problem to be solved & the servo either Reset or set Limp. To view and resolve any errors, go to the troubleshooting section
59 +**RED LED**: Conflict Found
80 80  
81 -== Servo Control ==
61 +Note that these LED colors are SESSION specific (as opposed to configured). The LED color listed under Configurations will remain the user choice (OFF by default).
82 82  
83 -In order to view the various commands available for each drop-down, a PRO servo needs to be properly connected to the computer, powered, turned on and detected.
63 +=== Servo ===
84 84  
85 -=== Query ===
65 +The scan provides a list of all servos which have been detected on the bus and lists the following choices in the drop-down. Note that the last servo in the list is automatically selected for convenience.
86 86  
87 -[[image:LSS-P-Config-Query.png]]
67 +**LSS-None (???; ~-~--k)**
88 88  
89 -1. The drop down list below Query provides a list of most query commands possible. More information click HERE
90 -1. Click the "Send" button to initiate the Query.
91 -1. The Query protocol command will be displayed here as well as the answer from the actuator. (ex: #1QID / *1QID1)
69 +This first option is used only when a servo ("???" to signify "unknown servo") cannot be reached via the LSS Config software and needs to be manually set to bootloader mode via the button menu in order to re-flash the firmware. The telemetry graph and configurations are all greyed out when this is selected. Once the servo has been set manually to bootloader mode, select this option and go through the firmware update procedure. This normally only needs to be done as a "last resort".
92 92  
93 -=== Action ===
71 +Note: You can use this special firmware recovery function with 2 or more servos simultaneously. Just make sure they are all in bootloader mode before stating the firmware update using this option.
94 94  
95 -[[image:LSS-P-Config-Action.png]]
73 +**LSS-All (254; ~-~--k)**
96 96  
97 -1. The drop down list below Action provides a list of most action commands possible. More information click HERE.
98 -1. Input the value of the Action required in the text input field. (ex: 9000 for a 90deg move)
99 -1. Click the "Send" button to initiate the Action.
100 -1. The Action protocol command will be displayed here and the actuator should be doing it.
75 +This option allows actions that affect all detected servos in the list after a successful scan. Since there is no particular servo being monitored, the telemetry graph and configurations are all greyed out. This is used to send the same firmware update to all detected servos on the bus or to send the same action command via the command line interface described below.
101 101  
102 -=== Configuration ===
77 +The drop-down list will be populated with all servos which the software has found on the bus, indicating their servo model, ID and firmware version. Each servo will then be listed in the following format:
103 103  
104 -[[image:LSS-P-Config-Config.png]]
79 +**ST1 (0;115.2k [368])**
105 105  
106 -1. The drop down list below Configuration provides a list of most configuration commands possible. More information click HERE.
107 -1. Input the value of the Configuration required in the text input field. (ex: 1 for an ID change to 1)
108 -1. Click the "Send" button to initiate the Configuration.
109 -1. The Configuration protocol command will be displayed here.
81 +The servo model is displayed first (ST1, HS1, HT1), followed by its ID, the baud rate to which it has been st (ex. 115200, or 115.2k) and its firmware version in rectangular brackets. Selecting a servo from the list will allow the software to communicate with it.

114 114  
115 -[[image:LSS-P-Config-Free-Cmd.png]]
87 +The firmware update option is a popup which includes:
116 116  
117 -== Telemetry ==
89 +* Firmware version selection in a dropdown list, including the current recommended version
90 +* Experimental firmware (optional)
91 +* Cancel firmware update
92 +* OK to continue firmware update
93 +* Checkbox to try to save & restore the settings (config)
94 +* Notes regarding the selected firmware
118 118  
119 -A graph within the software is used to display output of any query commands, which can include sensor data or calculated data.
96 +The LSS Config serves as the main software used to update the servo's onboard firmware. An internet connection is needed in order for the software to check if an online update is available and obtain a copy. When checked, the Exp. button will allow experimental versions of the firmware to be displayed in the list. It also allows to load a firmware directly from a local file.
120 120  
121 -[[image:LSS-P-Config-Telemetry.png]]
98 +Following this pop-up your servo will be restarted (unless already in bootloader mode, see LSS-None above) and a progress bar will be displayed in the command line. Do not disconnect the servo during a firmware update. If the process does get interrupted, you can still upload firmware to the LSS by going into bootloader mode by holding the button at power up.
122 122  
123 -1. To activate a specific value, click on the button and click again to disable it. he software start memorizing the data as soon as one query is activated.
124 -1. Pause will stop recording until you click back on it.
125 -1. Restart will wipe all the recorded values.
126 -1. The Y-axis of the graph auto-scales depending on what output is selected. To switch between traces, use the mouse wheel and confirm that the y axis label is the one you selected.
127 -1. The X-axis display the time & expands up to 20 minutes then scrolls a 20 minute time window.
128 -1. Saving the data is possible by doing a right click on the graph and select Copy, it's then possible to paste them in a spreadsheet application (Excel / Google Sheets)

114 +At the lower left the servo model and the LED color (session value) are shown.
141 141  
142 -This list of assignable buttons allows the user to select specific commands to send to the servo. These can be used to quickly position the servo to specific angles, experiment with different speeds and more.
116 +To change a value, simple use the left mouse button to hold and drag the relevant caret around its ring. Letting go of the left mouse button will update the value right away. While holding the left mouse button you can also press the right mouse button to cancel the current change to that caret (happens after right mouse click and then letting go of the left mouse button).
143 143  
144 -[[image:LSS-P-Config-Custom-Actions.png]]
118 +If the caret moved is position, this will send a position command in tenths of degrees right away to the servo (#[id]D[pos]\r).
119 +If the caret moved is first position, offset or angular range then it will update the appropiate configuration (see below for details), pending an update confirmation.
120 +The speed caret cannot be moved directly; it only serves only as a display of the current speed.
145 145  
146 -1. All of those buttons can be set to trigger any action required.
147 -1. Save will let you do a backup of the current Custom Actions.

162 -It is good to periodically check for firmware updates for the servos. A firmware update requires that the computer running the software be connected to the Internet.
147 +**UPDATE** Pressing this button will write all values to EEPROM, changing the configurations, and reverting all background colors to white.
163 163  
164 -Firmware updates can resolve bugs or add improvements. The information in this Wiki (for example the PRO Communication Protocol Page) will always refer to the latest version of firmware (though in certain instances will detail which firmware version of the firmware the feature or function started with).
149 +**UNDO ALL** is a shortcut button which reverts all changes made which have not been written to EEPROM.
165 165

185 +(% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
186 +Note that when multiple servos are connected, and the user changes between servos, the telemetry graph is not cleared (use the reset graph button).
202 202  
203 -=== Connection Error ===
188 +(% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
189 +Occasionally the telemetry values may all simultaneously drop to zero for one reading, or skip a point due to other processes taking priority.

205 -**LSS PRO device not found at this port!**
191 +== Command line ==
206 206  
207 -If the software does not detect any servos, this can be for multiple reasons:
193 +{{lightbox image="lss-config-terminal-0001" width="521"/}}
208 208  
209 -* Forgot to connect the USB port to ONLY the first servo of the assembly
210 -* Servo not connected to the power supply, or power supply not turned on.
211 -* Wrong COM port selected in the software
212 -* USB drivers have not been properly installed
213 -* Advanced users may have written their own firmware (Arduino format) and uploaded it to the microcontroller within the servo. The PRO Config software cannot be used in this instance.
195 +The command line interface both allows you to communicate directly with an individual servo, send commands to it and view replies to queries. When "LSS-All (254; ~-~--k)" is selected in the list of servos, the command line is used to send the same action or configuration command to all detected servos. For example, typing D1800 and pressing enter will send that same position command to each of the detected servos.
214 214  
215 -To resolve this issue:
197 +Within the command interface, you might see the following:
216 216  
217 -* Ensure the power is ON. 
218 -** If you have the 30V power supply, ensure the switch is set to ON
219 -** If you have the 36V power supply, also ensure the switch is set to ON & E-Stop button is not pressed
220 -* Verify the Device Manager in Windows to see if the COM port is present

221 221  
222 -=== Software Issues ===
206 +The command line also auto-completes each command by automatically inserting "#[id]" before each command for you. Therefore, you only need to type the command itself, such as "D1000" and press [enter]. For example, rather than typing #4D230<cr>, you need only type D230 and the software will automatically add #4 & \r.
223 223  
224 -**Firmware update stalled / frozen**
208 +Left clicking a line within the command prompt and then right clicking using your mouse highlights that line in a green border and allows it to be copied to the clipboard and pasted into another document. Scrolling is opposite that to browser navigation.
225 225  
226 -If the LSS Config screen freezes during a firmware update or the process takes many minutes without an update.
210 +The mouse wheel can be used to scroll and the holding the middle mouse button down allows for panning over the command line area (useful if text extends to the right). There are also two scrolling bars that can be used with the left mouse button as normal for panning the command line view.
227 227  
228 -To resolve this issue:
212 += Tutorials =
229 229  
230 -* Power cycle the servo, keeping it connected via USB to the computer.
231 -* Restart the LSS PRO Config application
232 -* The update should resume.
233 -
234 -If the firmware was being updated using a local file (rare), then the Firmware Update button needs to be pressed again for the update process to restart.
235 -
236 -**Interface freezes**
237 -
238 -If the interface freezes for any reason outside of a Firmware update, end the Windows Task corresponding to the LSS Config via Windows’ Task Manager (accessible via shortcut by simultaneously pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESC on the keyboard).
239 -
240 -**Wrong Servo Detected**
241 -
242 -If the display is showing the wrong servo detected (for example if you have a STANDARD servo connected, but it’s appearing as a MEGA), which should not happen, please reach out to RobotShop with details and instructions will be provided on how to correct this.
243 -
244 -**Appearance**
245 -
246 -If the appearance or aesthetics seem “off”, this may be due to the "Scale" factor in Windows 11, set it to 100%.
