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 proprietary 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. The software is intended as a quick starting point to better understand the servo before developing custom applications using the human-readable communication protocol.

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.

It also displays angles to 0.01 degrees of accuracy, as well as below 0 degrees and over 360 degrees. It’s important to note any angle beyond 0 to 360 is a calculated, or "virtual" position as the internal sensor can only read 0 to 360 degrees.
