15 -The Lynxmotion Servo Erector Set Professional (SES PRO) Arm Interface is a simple software which allows a user to control any of the Lynxmotion Professional Modular robotic arms in their default configuration. The two compatible gripper kits which are compatible with the SES PRO system (based on the DH Robotics PGE-50-40 and CGE-10-10 DC grillers) can also be controlled via this interface in each of their possible configurations. The included manual jog feature can be used to either position each joint angle, or move to specific cartesian coordinates. Arm (and gripper) positions can then be recorded as part of the built-in sequencer. A 3D display of the arm shows the position of the arm, and a graph can be used to show various information to the user. In order to get a better understanding of the protocol, commands sent to the arm are shown in the interface, and a user input field are standard.

32 32  * Neither the servos nor the arm are meant to be operated in proximity of humans as they do not have "collaborative" (COBOT) features and do not detect collision
33 33  * The servos use stepper motors and do NOT include mechanical brakes. If the stepper motor is unable to retain or move to a desired angle (insufficient torque), the motor will rotate freely as opposed to hold the last position

49 49  Before using the arm, it is important that a user know what to do when an issue or emergency arises where the arm must be stopped quickly. The following emergency options are available based on severity:

53 +**Halt (and hold)**
52 52  
55 +**[[image:ses-pro-robotic-arm-ui-halt.png]]**
56 +
53 53  This will stop every joints and hold them in their last recorded angular positions. The corresponding command is #254H<cr>.

55 55  **Limp**

61 +**[[image:ses-pro-robotic-arm-ui-limp.png]]**

57 57  All joints will go limp which mean there will be nothing avoiding them to turn freely (potentially causing the arm to fall). The high gear ratio of the strain wave gearing does mean there is some (low) level of resistant to rotation, but the gears and motor are nto "locked" and as such, the arm may fall. The corresponding command is #254L<cr>.

71 +**Power Supply E-Stop**
64 64  A hardware E-stop (push to cut power) button is located on the power supply which will cut electricity to all actuators. Similar to a limp command, this can possibly cause the arm to fall. To reset this button, rotate the red "mushroom" in the direction indicated by the white arrows and it will spring out.
