--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 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.

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).

--)))
--|(% style="width:30px" %) |(((
--Ex: #5UPDATE<cr>
++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.
--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.
++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.
--Ex: #5UPDATE<cr> followed by #5CONFIRM<cr>
++====== __4. Speed (**S**, **SD**) modifier__ ======
--Since it it not common to have to update firmware, a confirmation command is needed after an UPDATE command is sent. Should any command other than CONFIRM be received by the servo after the firmware command has been received, it will leave the firmware action.

++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 puts the servo into RC mode (position or continuous), where it will only respond to RC PWM signal on the servo's Rx pin. In this mode, the servo will no longer accept serial commands. The servo can be placed back into smart mode by using the button menu.
++This command queries the current speed in microseconds per second.

++====== __5. (Relative) Move in Degrees (**MD**)__ ======
--Change to RC position mode.
++Example: #5MD123<cr>
--Ex: #5CRC2<cr>
++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.
--Change to RC continuous rotation (wheel) mode.
++====== __6. Origin Offset Action (**O**)__ ======
--Ex: #5CRC*<cr>
++Example: #5O2400<cr>
--Where * is any value other than 1 or 2 (or no value): stay in smart mode
++This command allows you to temporarily change the origin of the servo in relation to the factory zero position for that session. As with all action commands, the setting will be lost upon servo reset / power cycle. Origin offset commands are not cumulative and always relate to factory zero. In the first image, the origin at factory offset '0' (centered).
--Ex: #5CRC2<cr>
++[[image:LSS-servo-default.jpg]]
--This command would place the servo in RC wheel mode after a RESET or power cycle. Note that after a RESET or power cycle, the servo will be in RC mode and will not reply to serial commands. Using the command #5CRC<cr> or #5CRC3<cr> which requests that the servo remain in serial mode still requires a RESET command.
++In the second image, the origin, and the corresponding angular range (explained below) have been shifted by +240.0 degrees:

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. This has been implemented as a fail safe.

--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.
++Origin Offset Query (**QO**)
--Query Identification (**QID**)

++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.
--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.
++Configure Origin Offset (**CO**)
--Configure ID (**CID**)
++Example: #5CO-24<cr>
--Ex: #4CID5<cr>
++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.
--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.

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, 750.0 kbps, 921.6 kbps.

--Ex: #5QB<cr> might return *5QB115200<cr>Since the command to query the baud rate must be done at the servo's existing baud rate, it can simply be used to confirm the CB configuration command was correctly received before the servo is power cycled and the new baud rate takes effect.

++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 115200. 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.

--Modifier (SD) is only for a position (D) or relative position (MD) action and determines the speed of the move in tenths of degrees per second.

--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.
