8 -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.

10 -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.

106 -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. In virtual position mode, the "absolute position" would be the angle of the output shaft with respect to a 360.0 degree circle, 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) as the absolute position (assuming no origin offset).

612 612  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.

622 622  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.
