  = Description =
--The LSS FlowArm application is intended to allow easy control of the standard Lynxmotion Servo Erector Set (SES) V2 robotic arms. Either the four degree of freedom (4DoF) or three degree of freedom (3DoF) arm is selected and the graphical interface shows multiple views of the arm which can be controlled via drag and drop, as well as by manually inputting coordinates. The full-featured built-in sequencer allows you create sequences which moves the arm automatically from one position ("frame") to the next. Make use of the "teach mode" to position the arm where you want and record frames which can be modified and played back. Associating each pattern with input keys means you can easily play back and test multiple sequences.
++The LSS FlowArm application is intended to allow easy control of the standard Lynxmotion Servo Erector Set (S.E.S.) v2 articulated robotic arm. The graphical interface shows multiple views of the arm which can be controlled via drag and drop, as well as by manually inputting coordinates. The full-featured built-in sequencer allows you create sequences which have the arm move automatically from one position ("frame") to the next. Make use of the "teach mode" to position the arm where you want and record frames which can be modified and played back. Associating each pattern with input keys means you can easily play back and test multiple sequences.
  FlowBotics Studio was used to create this app and includes hundreds of built-in components that allow you to interface your PC to many standard computer peripherals and robotics components, and you can quickly design new components for new hardware. Easily create new projects with custom GUI screens, knobs, buttons, switches, etc. that will run live from within FlowBotics Studio without needing to wait for compilation, or export as stand-alone executable files. FlowBotics Studio includes a powerful graphics engine that allows you to make custom graphical objects by using standard bitmaps or by drawing your own shapes on the screen. Using this system, you can build entirely custom interfaces like this one for your projects and integrate photographs, drawings, and graphs.

++1. Connect the USB cable to the LSS Adapter board on your robot
++1. Plug the USB connector into the PC
++1. Connect your LSS to the LSS-Adapter with the Lynxmotion cable
++1. Connect the power to the LSS Adapter via the yellow XT60 plug
++1. Power on the robot (On/Off switch)
++1. Start the LSS FlowArm software
++1. Select the appropriate COM port from the drop-down list & the baudrate (115200)
++1. The software sends a query to servo ID1 and once a reply is received, it determines connection has been established.

  Teach mode allows a user to physically move the arm and have the virtual arm on screen follow. This is used primarily to manually add frames to sequences, determine the optimal closed position for the gripper etc. In order to ensure the arm does not collapse, pressing the TEACH button will start a 5 second countdown during which the arm will slowly lose torque (angular force) until all servos are limp. When in teach mode, an orange outline appears over all on-screen fields which would cause a conflict and therefore cannot be used.
--CAREFUL: Do not move the servos or the arm too quickly. We suggest holding the gripper servo to move the arm. In the case of the 4DoF arm, temporarily remove the arm's aesthetic plastic shell.
++CAREFUL: Do not move the servos or the arm too quickly. We suggest holding the gripper servo to move the arm, or temporarily removing the arm's aesthetic shell.
