8 +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"), while at the same time trying to be 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.
6 6  
10 +In serial mode, in order to have servos react differently when commands are sent to all servos in a 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 take action. There is currently no CRC / checksum implemented as part of the protocol.

108 +A "virtual 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 360.0 degrees, 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).

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. This command is in place to ensure backwards compatibility with the SSC-32 / 32U protocol.

453 +This command allows you to control when the RGB LED will blink the user set color (see [[16. RGB LED>>||anchor="H16.RGBLED28LED29"]] for details).
454 +You can turn on or off blinking for various LSS status. Here is the list and their associated value: 0=No blinking, ; 63=Always blink; Blink while: 1=Limp; 2=Holding 4=Accel; 8=Decel; 16=Free 32=Travel;
