Eric Nantel 172.1 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 format"), while at the same time staying compact and robust yet highly versatile. The protocol was based on Lynxmotion's SSC-32 & SSC-32U RC servo controllers and almost everything one might expect to be able to configure for a smart servomotor is available.
Coleman Benson 1.1 9
Coleman Benson 194.2 10 In order to be able to control each servo individually with commands, the first step should be to assign a different ID number to each servo (see details on the Configure ID, or "CID" command [[here>>doc:||anchor="HIdentificationNumber28ID29"]]). Only the servo(s) which have been configured to a specific ID will act on a command sent to that ID. There is currently no CRC or checksum implemented as part of the protocol.

Coleman Benson 194.2 18 **Note 1:** For a given session, the action related to a specific command overrides the stored value in EEPROM.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
19 **Note 2:** During the power-on / reset process the LSS cannot accept commands for a small amount of time (~1.25 s).<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
20 **Note 3:** You can ensure the LSS is ready by using a query command to check for response (ex: #[id]Q\r or #[id]QID\r described below). If the LSS is ready for commands (initialized) it will respond to the query. A timeout between 50-100 ms is recommended to compensate for drivers, OS and buffering delays.

Coleman Benson 194.2 28 Action commands tell the servo, within that session, to do something (i.e. "take an action"). The types of action commands which can be sent are described below, and they cannot be combined with other commands such as queries or configurations. Only one action command can be sent at a time. Action commands are session-specific, therefore once a servo is power cycled, it will not have any "memory" of previous actions or [[virtual positions>>||anchor="HVirtualAngularPosition"]] (described below). Action commands are sent serially to the servo's Rx pin and must be sent in the following format:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 1.1 29
Eric Nantel 172.1 30 1. Start with a number sign **#** (Unicode Character: U+0023)

Eric Nantel 172.1 39 This sends a serial command to all servo's RX pins which are connected to the bus and only servo(s) with ID #5 will move to a position (1800 in tenths of degrees) of 180.0 degrees. Any servo on the bus which does not have ID 5 will take no action when receiving this command.

67 Query commands request information from the servo. They are received via the Rx pin of the servo, and the servo's reply is sent via the servo's Tx pin. Using separate lines for Tx and Rx is called "full duplex". Query commands are also similar to action and configuration commands and must use the following format:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

Coleman Benson 1.1 83
Eric Nantel 172.1 84 There is currently no option to control how fast a servo replies after it has received a query command, therefore when sending a query command to the bus, the controller should be prepared to immediately "listen" for and parse the reply. Sending multiple queries to multiple servos on a bus in fast succession may result in replies overlapping and giving incorrect or corrupt data. As such, the controller should receive a reply before sending a new query command. A reply to the query sent above might be:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 93.1 85
Eric Nantel 172.1 86 Ex: *5QD1800&lt;cr&gt;<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

96 Configuration commands and corresponding values affect a servo's defaults which are written to and read from the servo's EEPROM.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 96.1 97
Coleman Benson 194.2 98 These configurations are retained in memory after the servo is reset or power is cut / lost. Some configuration commands affect the session, while others do not. In the Command table below, the column "Session" denotes if the configuration command affects the session. Not all action commands have a corresponding configuration command and vice versa. More information about which configuration commands are retained when in RC mode can be found on the [[LSS - RC PWM page>>doc:lynxmotion-smart-servo.lss-radio-control-pwm.WebHome]]. Configuration commands are not cumulative. This means that if two of the same configuration commands are sent, one after the next, only the last configuration is used and stored.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Eric Nantel 172.1 99
100 The format to send a configuration command is identical to that of an action command:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

102 1. Start with a number sign **#** (Unicode Character: U+0023)
Coleman Benson 96.1 103 1. Servo ID number as an integer

Coleman Benson 96.1 107
Eric Nantel 172.1 108 Ex: #5CO-50&lt;cr&gt;<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 96.1 109
Eric Nantel 172.1 110 This configures an absolute origin offset ("CO") with respect to factory origin of servo with ID #5 and changes the offset for that session to -5.0 degrees (50 tenths of degrees). Once the servo is powered off and on, zeroing the servo will cause it to move to -5.0 degrees with respect to the factory origin and report its position as 0 degrees. Configuration commands can be undone / reset either by sending the servo's default value for that configuration, or by doing a factory reset that clears all configurations (through the button menu or with DEFAULT command described below).<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 96.1 111
Eric Nantel 172.1 112 **Session vs Configuration Query**<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 1.1 113
Eric Nantel 172.1 114 By default, the query command returns the session's value. Should no action commands have been sent to change the session value, it will return the value saved in EEPROM which will either be the servo's default, or modified with a configuration command. In order to query the value stored in EEPROM (configuration), add a '1' to the query command:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 1.1 115
Eric Nantel 172.1 116 Ex: #5CSR20&lt;cr&gt; immediately sets the maximum speed for servo #5 to 20rpm (explained below) and changes the value in memory.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 1.1 117
Eric Nantel 172.1 118 After RESET, a command of #5SR4&lt;cr&gt; sets the session's speed to 4rpm, but does not change the configuration value in memory. Therefore:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 1.1 119
Eric Nantel 172.1 120 #5QSR&lt;cr&gt; or #5QSR0&lt;cr&gt; would return *5QSR4&lt;cr&gt; which represents the value for that session, whereas<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
Coleman Benson 1.1 121
Eric Nantel 172.1 122 #5QSR1&lt;cr&gt; would return *5QSR20&lt;cr&gt; which represents the value in EEPROM

130 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. 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).<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
RB1 56.1 131

RB1 56.1 133
Eric Nantel 172.1 134 In this example, the gyre direction (explained below, a.k.a. "rotation direction") is positive (clockwise), and origin offset has not been modified. Each square represents 30 degrees. The following command is sent:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
RB1 56.1 135
Eric Nantel 172.1 136 #1D-300&lt;cr&gt; This causes the servo to move to -30.0 degrees (green arrow)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
RB1 56.1 137
Eric Nantel 172.1 138 #1D2100&lt;cr&gt; This second position command is sent to the servo, which moves it to 210.0 degrees (orange arrow)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
RB1 56.1 139
Eric Nantel 172.1 140 #1D-4200&lt;cr&gt; This next command rotates the servo counterclockwise to a position of -420 degrees (red arrow), which means one full rotation of 360 degrees plus 60.0 degrees (420.0 - 360.0), with a virtual position of -420.0 degrees.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
RB1 56.1 141
Eric Nantel 172.1 142 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.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
RB1 56.1 143
Eric Nantel 172.1 144 #1D4800&lt;cr&gt; 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.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
RB1 56.1 145
Eric Nantel 172.1 146 #1D3300&lt;cr&gt; would cause the servo to rotate from 480.0 degrees to 330.0 degrees (yellow arrow).<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
RB1 56.1 147
Eric Nantel 172.1 148 If 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). The virtual position range at power-up is [-180.0°, 180.0°].

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.

298 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.

Eric Nantel 172.1 304 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.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

Eric Nantel 172.1 310 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.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

Setting different baud rates will have the servos respond differently and may create issues.

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.

Coleman Benson 197.2 515 EM1 (Enable Motion Profile #1) is the default mode of the LSS and is an easy way to control the servo's position with a single (serial) position command. This mode uses a trapezoidal motion profile which takes care of acceleration, constant speed travel and deceleration. Once the actual position is within a certain value of the target, it switches to a holding algorithm. The LSS commands for Angular Acceleration and Deceleration (AA/CAA/AD/CAD) Angular Stiffness (AS/CAS) and Angular holding stiffness (AH/CAH) affect this motion profile. Modifiers like SD/S and T can be used in EM1.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

Coleman Benson 198.3 523 This command will disable the built-in trapezoidal motion profile. As such, the servo will move at full speed to the target position using the D/MD action commands. Modifiers like SD/S or T cannot be used in EM0 mode. By default the Filter Position Counter, or "FPC" is active in EM0 mode to smooth out its operation. EM0 is suggested for applications where an external controller will be determining all incremental intermediate positions of the servo's motion, effectively replacing a trajectory manager. To prevent having to send position commands continuously to reach the desired position in EM0/FPC active (FPC >= 2), an internal position engine (IPE) repeats the last position command.

Coleman Benson 196.2 545 The FPC value relates to the depth of a first order filter (exponential weighted average) over the position change. This has the effect of slowing down both acceleration and deceleration while still allowing the LSS to try to reach the desired position at maximum power at all times. A smaller FPC value will reduce the smoothing effect and a larger value will increase it.

951 This action sets the servo's RGB LED color for that session.The LED can be used for aesthetics, or (based on user code) to provide visual status updates. Using timing can create patterns.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
952 0=Off (black); 1=Red 2=Green; 3=Blue; 4=Yellow; 5=Cyan; 6=Magenta; 7=White;<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

957 Ex: #5CLED3&lt;cr&gt;<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
958 Configuring the LED color via the CLED command sets the startup color of the servo after a reset or power cycle. Note that it also changes the session's LED color immediately as well. The command above will configure the servo's LED to a Blue color.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

965 <div class="cmdcnt"><div class="cmdpad"></div><div class="cmdtxt">
966 This command allows you to control when the RGB LED will blink the user set color (see RGB LED command for details). This is very useful when visually seeing what the servo is doing. You can turn on or off blinking for various LSS status. The command requires that the servo be RESET. Here is the list and their associated value:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

978
979 To set blinking, use CLB with the value of your choosing. To activate blinking in multiple status, simply add together the values of the corresponding status. See examples below:<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
980 Ex: #5CLB0<cr> to turn off all blinking (LED always solid)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
981 Ex: #5CLB1<cr> only blink when limp (1)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
982 Ex: #5CLB2<cr> only blink when holding (2)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
983 Ex: #5CLB12<cr> only blink when accel or decel (accel 4 + decel 8 = 12)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
984 Ex: #5CLB48<cr> only blink when free or travel (free 16 + travel 32 = 48)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
985 Ex: #5CLB63<cr> blink in all status (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32)<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
986 RESETTING the servo is needed.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
