--= Serial Protocol Concept =
++= Serial Protocol =
--The custom Lynxmotion Smart Servo (LSS) serial protocol was created in order to be as simple and straightforward as possible from a user perspective ("human readable format"), while at the same time compact and robust yet highly versatile. The protocol was based on Lynxmotion's SSC-32 RC servo controller and almost everything one might expect to be able to configure for a smart servo motor is available.
++The Lynxmotion Smart Servo (LSS) serial protocol was created in order to be as simple and straightforward as possible from a user perspective ("human readable format"), while at the same time staying compact and robust yet highly versatile. The protocol was based on Lynxmotion's SSC-32 & SSC-32U RC servo controllers and almost everything one might expect to be able to configure for a smart servomotor is available.
--In order to have servos react differently when commands are sent to all servos in a serial bus, the first step a user should take is to assign a different ID number to each servo (explained below). Once this has been done, only the servo(s) which have been assigned to the ID sent as part of the command will follow that command. There is currently no CRC / checksum implemented as part of the protocol.
++In order to be able to control each servo individually with commands, the first step should be to assign a different ID number to each servo (see details on CID [[here>>doc:||anchor="HIdentificationNumber28ID29"]]). Once this has been done, only the servo(s) which have been assigned to the ID sent as part of the command will follow that command. There is currently no CRC or checksum implemented as part of the protocol.
  == Session ==
--A "session" is defined as the time between when the servo is powered ON to when it is powered OFF or reset.

++A "session" is defined as the time between when the servo is powered ON to when it is powered OFF or reset.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
--Note that for a given session, the action related to a specific commands overrides the stored value in EEPROM.
++**Note #1:** For a given session, the action related to a specific commands overrides the stored value in EEPROM.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
++**Note #2:** During the power-on / reset process the LSS cannot accept commands for a small amount of time (1.25 s).<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
++You can ensure the LSS is ready by using a query command to check for response (ex: #[id]Q\r or #[id]QID\r). If the LSS is ready for commands (initialized) it will respond to the query. A timeout between 50-100 ms is recommended to compensate for drivers, OS and buffering delays.

  == Action Commands ==
--Action commands tell the servo, within that session, to do something (i.e. "take an action"). The types of action commands which can be sent are described below, and they cannot be combined with other commands such as queries or configurations. Only one action command can be sent at a time. Action commands are session-specific, therefore once a servo is power cycled, it will not have any "memory" of previous actions or virtual positions (described below on this page). Action commands are sent serially to the servo's Rx pin and must be sent in the following format:

  == Configuration Commands ==

Not all action commands have a corresponding configuration command and vice versa. More information about which configuration commands are retained when in RC mode can be found on the [[LSS - RC PWM page>>doc:lynxmotion-smart-servo.lss-radio-control-pwm.WebHome]]. Configuration commands are not cumulative, in that if two configurations are sent, one after the next, only the last configuration is used and stored. The format to send a configuration command is identical to that of an action command:

  == Virtual Angular Position ==
--The ability to store a "virtual angular position" is a feature which allows for rotation beyond 360 degrees, permitting multiple rotations of the output horn, moving the center position and more. In virtual position mode, the "absolute position" would be the angle of the output shaft with respect to a 360.0 degree circle, and can be obtained by taking the modulus (with respect to 360 degrees) of the value. For example if the virtual position is reported as 15335 (or 1533.5 degrees), taking the modulus would give 93.5 degrees (3600 * 4 + 935 = 15335) as the absolute position (assuming no origin offset).

--This action overrides whatever the servo might be doing at the time the command is received (accelerating, moving continuously etc.) and causes it to stop immediately and hold that angular position.
++This command sets in motion the reset of all values to the default values included with the version of the firmware installed on that servo. The servo then waits for the CONFIRM command. Any other command received will cause the servo to exit the DEFAULT function.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

--Timed move can be used only as a modifier for a position (P, D, MD) actions. The units are in milliseconds, so a timed move of 2500 milliseconds would cause the servo to rotate from its current position to the desired position in 2.5 seconds. The onboard controller will attempt to ensure that the move is performed entirely at the desired velocity, though differences in torque may cause it to not be exact. This command is in place to ensure backwards compatibility with the SSC-32 / 32U protocol.

--Note: If the calculated speed at which a servo must rotate for a timed move is greater than its maximum speed (which depends on voltage and load), then it will move at its maximum speed, and the time of the move may be longer than requested.

--This command is a modifier only for a position (P) action and determines the speed of the move in microseconds per second.

--The relative move command causes the servo to read its current position and move the specified number of tenths of degrees in the corresponding position. For example if the servo is set to rotate CW (default) and an MD command of 123 is sent to the servo, it will cause the servo to rotate clockwise by 12.3 degrees. Negative commands would cause the servo to rotate in the opposite configured direction.

Should the button be inaccessible (or broken) when the servo is in RC mode and the user needs to change to serial mode, a 5V constant HIGH needs to be sent to the servo's Rx pin (RC PWM pin), **ensuring a common GND** and wait for 30 seconds. Normal RC PWM pulses should not exceed 2500 milliseconds. After 30 seconds, the servo will interpret this as a desired mode change and change to serial mode.

++<div class="cmdcnt"><div class="cmdpad"></div><div class="cmdtxt">
++A servo's identification number cannot be set "on the fly" and must be configured via the CID command described below. The factory default ID number for all servos is 0. Since smart servos are intended to be daisy chained, in order to respond differently from one another, the user must set different identification numbers. Servos with the same ID and baud rate will all receive and react to the same commands.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
--Example: #5QO<cr> Returns: *5QO-13

--Configure Origin Offset (**CO**)
++When using the broadcast query ID command, it is best to only have one servo connected and thus receive only one reply. This is useful when you are not sure of the servo's ID, but don't want to change it. Using the broadcast command (ID 254) with only one servo will have that servo reply with its ID number. Alternatively, pushing the button upon startup and temporarily setting the servo ID to 255 will still result in the servo responding with its "real" ID.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
--Example: #5CO-24<cr>
++Configure ID (**CID**)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
--This command allows you to change the origin of the servo in relation to the factory zero position in EEPROM. The setting will be saved upon servo reset / power cycle. Origin offset configuration commands are not cumulative and always relate to factory zero. The new origin is also used in RC mode. In the example, the new origin will be at -2.4 degrees from the factory zero.

--====== __7. Angular Range (**AR**)__ ======
++Setting a servo's ID in EEPROM is done via the CID command. All servos connected to the same serial bus that have  will be assigned that ID. In most situations each servo must be set a unique ID, which means each servo must be connected individually to the serial bus and receive a unique CID number. It is best to do this before the servos are added to an assembly. Numbered stickers are provided to distinguish each servo after their ID is set, though you are free to use whatever alternative method you like. The servo must be RESET or power cycled in order for the new ID to take effect.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

Since smart servos are intended to be daisy chained, in order to respond to the same serial command, all servos in a project should be set to the same baud rate. Setting different baud rates will have the servos respond differently and may create issues. Available baud rates are: 9600 bps, 19200 bps, 38400 bps, 57600 bps, 115.2 kbps, 230.4 kbps, 250.0 kbps, 460.8 kbps, 500.0 kbps.

++Timed move can be used only as a modifier for a position (P, D, MD) actions.
