9 -The Lynxmotion Smart Servo (LSS) are new compact, modular actuators which were design to be an evolution of the standard RC servo for use in multi degree-of-freedom robotics, animatronics, custom RC projects and more. The lineup currently includes three “smart servos” which differ in maximum torque and speed, and share the same dimensions, mounting points and output spline. The servos are core modules of the new Lynxmotion Servo Erector Set (S.E.S.) and a wide variety of modular brackets, mechanics and electronics have been designed around them. "Smart" means each servos' parameters are user modifiable and configurable, there is sensor feedback, built-in safety features, and they are although meant to be connected to a microcontroller, can be used as advanced RC actuators. The custom LSS serial protocol was built upon the SSC-32 / 32U protocol and makes communicating with and configuring the servos easy and intuitive.

33 +The servos are meant to be powered from either a battery source or a DC wall adapter. When selecting a power source, ensure it will be able to provide sufficient current to power all of the servos in the project. Please refer to the [[LSS - Specifications>>doc:LynxmotionSmartServo.LSS - Specifications.WebHome]] page for information regarding input voltage and current for each servo motor.
