  The Lynxmotion Smart Servo (LSS) protocol was created in order to be as simple and straightforward as possible from a user perspective, while at the same time trying to stay compact and robust yet highly versatile. Almost everything one might expect to be able to configure for a smart servo motor is available.

++__3. Timed move (**T**)__
  Example: #5P1500T2500<cr>
  Timed move can be used only as a modifier for a position (P) action. 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.
--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 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.

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.

++__27. Query Voltage (**QV**)__
  Ex: #5QV<cr> might return *5QV11200<cr>
  The number returned has one decimal, so in the case above, servo with ID 5 has an input voltage of 11.2V (perhaps a three cell LiPo battery).

++__28. Query Temperature (**QT**)__
  Ex: #5QT<cr> might return *5QT564<cr>
  The units are in tenths of degrees Celcius, so in the example above, the servo's internal temperature is 56.4 degrees C. To convert from degrees Celcius to degrees Farenheit, multiply by 1.8 and add 32. Therefore 56.4C = 133.52F.

++__29. Query Current (**QC**)__
  Ex: #5QC<cr> might return *5QC140<cr>
  The units are in milliamps, so in the example above, the servo is consuming 140mA, or 0.14A.
--====== __30. RC Mode (**CRC**)__ ======
++__30. RC Mode (**CRC**)__
  This command puts the servo into RC mode (position or continuous), where it will only respond to RC pulses. Note that because this is the case, the servo will no longer accept serial commands. The servo can be placed back into smart mode by using the button menu.
