++= Serial Protocol Concept =
--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.
++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.
--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.
++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.

--**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.

--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.

--====== __Reset__ ======
++This action causes the servo to go "limp". The microcontroller will still be powered, but the motor will not. As an emergency safety feature, should the robot not be doing what it is supposed to or risks damage, use the broadcast ID to set all servos limp #254L<cr>.

--Ex: #5RESET&lt;cr&gt;<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
--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. See [[Session>>||anchor="HSession"]], note #2 for more details.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

--<div class="cmdcnt"><div class="cmdpad"></div><div class="cmdtxt">
--Ex: #5DEFAULT&lt;cr&gt;<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
++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>
++====== __3. Timed move (**T**) modifier__ ======
--EX: #5DEFAULT&lt;cr&gt; followed by #5CONFIRM&lt;cr&gt;<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
++Example: #5P1500T2500<cr>
--Since it it not common to have to restore all configurations, a confirmation command is needed after a firmware command is sent. Should any command other than CONFIRM be received by the servo after the firmware command has been received, it will exit the command.<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:** After the CONFIRM command is sent, the servo will automatically perform a RESET.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
--</div></div>
--{{/html}}
++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.

++Example: #5P1500S750<cr>
--This command sets in motion the equivalent of a long button press when the servo is not powered in order to enter firmware update mode. This is useful should the button be broken or inaccessible. The servo then waits for the CONFIRM command. Any other command received will cause the servo to exit the UPDATE function.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
++This command is a modifier only for a position (P) action and determines the speed of the move in microseconds per second. A speed of 750 microseconds would cause the servo to rotate from its current position to the desired position at a speed of 750 microseconds per second. This command is in place to ensure backwards compatibility with the SSC-32 / 32U protocol.

++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.

++This allows you to query the angle (in tenths of degrees) of the origin in relation to the factory zero position. In this example, the new origin is at -1.3 degrees from the factory zero.
--**Important note: **To revert from RC mode back to serial mode, the [[LSS - Button Menu>>doc:lynxmotion-smart-servo.lss-button-menu.WebHome]] is required. 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.

++This command allows you to temporarily change the total angular range of the servo in tenths of degrees. This applies to the Position in Pulse (P) command and RC mode.

--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.

Without any modifications to configuration considered, and a ±90.0 degrees standard range where 1500 microseconds is centered, a pulse of 2334 would set the servo to 165.1 degrees.

--====== __Enable Motion Profile (**EM**)__ ======
++"Gyre" is defined as a circular course or motion. The effect of changing the gyre direction is as if you were to use a mirror image of a circle. CW = 1; CCW = -1. The factory default is clockwise (CW).

--This command enables a trapezoidal motion profile. By default, the trapezoidal motion profile is enabled. If the motion profile is enabled, angular acceleration (AA) and angular deceleration(AD) will have an effect on the motion.

++This command will cause servo #5's positions to be inverted, effectively causing the servo to rotate in the opposite direction given the same command. For example in a 2WD robot, servos are often physically installed back to back, therefore setting one of the servos to a negative gyration, the same wheel command (ex WR30) to both servos will cause the robot to move forward or backward rather than rotate.
--Ex: #5EM0&lt;cr&gt;<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
++Query Gyre Direction (**QG**)

++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 (assuming same baud rate).

++When using the 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 (assuming the query is sent . 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.

++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.

++A servo's baud rate cannot be set "on the fly" and must be configured via the CB command described below. The factory default baud rate for all servos is 9600. 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 9600.

--Modifier (S) is only for a position (P) action and determines the speed of the move in microseconds per second. A speed of 750 microseconds would cause the servo to rotate from its current position to the desired position at a speed of 750 microseconds per second. This command is in place to ensure backwards compatibility with the SSC-32 / 32U protocol.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
--Example: #5D0SD180&lt;cr&gt;<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
--Modifier (SD) is only for a position (D) or relative position (MD) action and determines the speed of the move in degrees per second. A speed modifier (SD) of 180 would cause the servo to rotate from its current position to the desired absolute or relative position at a speed of 180 degrees per second.<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.
