	113	+A "virtual position" is one which allows for multiple rotations of the output horn, moving the center position and more. The "absolute position" would be the angle of the output shaft with respect to 360.0 degrees.
	114	+
	115	+[[image:LSS-servo-positions.jpg]]
	116	+
	117	+Example: Gyre direction / rotation is positive (clockwise), and origin offset has not been modified. Each square represents 30 degrees.
	118	+
	119	+#1D-300<cr> The servo is sent a command to move to -30.0 degrees (green arrow)
	120	+
	121	+#1D2100<cr> This second position command is sent to the servo, which moves it to 210.0 degrees (orange arrow)
	122	+
	123	+#1D-4200<cr> This next command rotates the servo counterclockwise to a position of -420 degrees (red arrow), which means one full rotation of 360 degrees,  stopping at an absolute position of 60.0 degrees (420.0-360.0), with a virtual position of -420.0 degrees.
	124	+
	125	+Although the final physical position would be the same as if the servo were commanded to move to -60.0 degrees, the servo is in fact at -420.0 degrees.
	126	+
	127	+#1D4800<cr> This new command is sent which would then cause the servo to rotate from -420.0 degrees to 480.0 degrees (blue arrow), which would be a total of 900 degrees of clockwise rotation, or 2.5 complete rotations.
	128	+
	129	+#1D3300<cr> would cause the servo to rotate from 480.0 degrees to 330.0 degrees (yellow arrow).
	130	+
	131	+If / once the servo loses power or is power cycled, it also loses the virtual position associated with that session. For example, if the virtual position was 480.0 degrees before power is cycled, upon power up the servo's position will be read as +120.0 degrees from zero (assuming center position has not been modified).
