The servo lineup currently includes three “smart servos” which appear physically the same, sharing the same dimensions, mounting points and output spline, but differing in maximum torque and speed, and . The servos are core modules of the next generation Lynxmotion Servo Erector Set (S.E.S.) modular robotic construction system 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 communication protocol was built upon the SSC-32 / 32U protocol and makes communicating with, controlling and configuring the servos easy and intuitive. 10 - 11 -NOTE: The Lynxmotion Smart Servo motors, as well as the SES modular construction system is NOT open source. As such, RobotShop cannot provide the schematics for the electronics, nor any details relating to the components used internally. Opening the servos without the express permission from RobotShop will void the warranty. 12 - 13 -= Features = 14 - 15 15 * Serial, RC PWM and continuous rotation modes 16 -* Human readable LSSSerialCommunication Protocol12 +* Simplified LSS Communication Protocol 17 17 * Button Menu, RGB LED 18 -* Feedback: voltage, current, position, temperature, operating status and more. 19 -* Configurable: center position, angular range, direction, speed and much more. 20 -* All metal gears for high torque and reduced wear 14 +* Sensor feedback: Voltage, current, position, temperature, status and more. 15 +* Fully configurable: center position, angular range, speed and much more. 21 21 * Libraries: Arduino, Python, ROS 22 -* 12V nominal(3S LiPo ideal), 6-12V operation*17 +* 6-12V operation (3S LiPo nominal) 23 23 * Standard 24T output spline (compatible with accessories made for Hitec 422, 645MG servos) 24 24 * Many Mounting points, brackets, accessories 25 25 26 -~* Note that the servo's maximum speed and available torque both decrease with lower input voltage 27 - 28 -= Specifications = 29 - 30 -The easiest way to differentiate between the three models is based on the sticker, located at the rear of the servo.
