8 -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.

10 -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.
7 +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 the Configure ID, or "CID" command [[here>>path:#HIdentificationNumber28ID29]]). Only the servo(s) which have been configured to a specific ID will act on a command sent to that ID. There is currently no CRC or checksum implemented as part of the protocol.

218 +This command does a "soft reset" and reverts all commands to those stored in EEPROM (i.e. configuration commands). Note: after a RESET command is received, the LSS will restart and perform initilization again, making it unavailable on the bus for a bit.

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.

510 +EM1 (Enable Motion Profile #1) is the default mode of the LSS and is an easy way to control the servo's position with a single (serial) position command. This mode uses a trapezoidal motion profile which takes care of acceleration, constant speed travel and deceleration. Once the actual position is within a certain value of the target, it switches to a holding algorithm. The LSS commands for Angular Acceleration and Deceleration (AA/CAA/AD/CAD) Angular Stiffness (AS/CAS) and Angular holding stiffness (AH/CAH) affect this motion profile. Modifiers like SD/S and T can be used in EM1.

518 +This command will disable the built-in trapezoidal motion profile. As such, the servo will move at full speed to the target position using the D/MD action commands. Modifiers like SD/S or T cannot be used in EM0 mode. By default the Filter Position Counter, or "FPC" is active in EM0 mode to smooth out its operation. EM0 is suggested for applications where an external controller will be determining all incremental intermediate positions of the servo's motion, effectively replacing a trajectory manager. To prevent having to send position commands continuously to reach the desired position in EM0/FPC active (FPC >= 2), an internal position engine (IPE) repeats the last position command. Note that in EM0 mode, the servo will effectively always be in status: Holding (if using the query status command).

537 +The FPC value relates to the depth of a first order filter (exponential weighted average) over the position change.

A smaller FPC value will reduce the smoothing effect and a larger value will increase it.

449 -Setting a servo's ID in EEPROM is done via the CID command. All servos connected to the same serial bus 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.

Since smart servos are intended to be daisy chained, in order to respond to the same serial bus, all servos in a project should ideally 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. Servos are shipped with a baud rate set to 115200.
