An internet connection is needed in order for the software to check if an online update is available. Do not disconnect the servo during a firmware update. During the update, a progress bar will be displayed in the command line. 14 14 15 -= Header = 16 - 17 -[[image:lss-config-header.png]] 18 - 19 -The header includes (left to right): 20 - 21 -* Firmware version currently installed on servo 22 -* Firmware update option 23 -* COM port selection 24 -* Connect (toggle ON / OFF) 25 - 26 -Connection to the servo is done automatically, via any properly installed USB to serial interface like the [[LSS Adapter board>>doc:servo-erector-set-system.ses-electronics.ses-modules.lss-adapter-board.WebHome]]. Once the servo is powered and properly connected to the computer, the COM port should appear in the COM port list. Ensure the board is recognized by the computer and if not, install the proper drivers. If you have multiple communication ports active, go to Windows -> Device Manager to determine which is appropriate for the USB to serial adapter you are using. Click CONNECT to connect to the servo. The software automatically scans all standard baud rates using ID254 (broadcast ID) and waits for a reply from the servo connected. Should an incorrect COM port be selected, the software will keep trying to connect. If you wish to change the COM port selected you must disconnect, select the correct COM port and reconnect. If you are not sure which COM port to select, in Windows, go to Device Manager -> Ports (COM & LPT) and select the port associated with the USB to serial device. 27 - 28 -== Firmware Update == 29 - 30 -{{lightbox image="lss-config-firmware-update.png" width="417"/}} 31 - 32 -The firmware update option is a popup which includes: 33 - 34 -* Firmware version in dropdown format, including the current recommended version 35 -* Experimental firmware (if available) 36 -* Cancel firmware update 37 -* OK to continue firmware update 38 -* Notes regarding the firmware 39 - 40 -The LSS Config software serves as the main software used to update the servo's onboard firmware / programming. An internet connection is needed in order for the software to check if an online update is available. The servo's current firmware version is displayed to the left of the FIRMWARE button. Pressing the button will open a popup window which allows you to select the firmware version to upload to the servo. When checked, the Exp. button will allow experimental versions of the firmware to be displayed in the list. It also allows to load directly from a local file. 41 - 42 -Once the OK button is pressed, the software will request if you wish to save your servo's configurations and restore them after the firmware update (see image below). Clicking **Yes** will poll your servo to obtain all of its available settings and which will be restored after a successful firmware update is completed. 43 -[[image:lss-config-firmware-update-restore-settings.png]] 44 - 45 -Following this pop-up your servo will be restarted and a progress bar will be displayed in the command line. Do not disconnect the servo during a firmware update. If the process does get interrupted, you can still upload firmware to the LSS by going into bootloader mode by holding the button at power up. 46 - 47 47 = Servo Control = 48 48 49 - {{lightbox image="lss-config-control-0003-both.png"width="485"/}}17 +The servo control section allows you to visually move the servo and change a variety of parameter. 50 50 51 -The servocontrol sectionallowsyouvisuallymove theservo andchangeavarietyofparameters,including:19 +The large red STOP button will send a LIMP command to the servo. 52 52 53 -* Position: pale blue caret 54 -* Origin offset: magenta caret 55 -* Angular range: magenta square carets 56 -* RPM: green arrow / indicator 57 -* Initial position: dark blue caret 21 +{More to come} 58 58 59 - Atthe lower left the servo modelandthe LED color are shown.23 += Configurations = 60 60 61 -= =Configurations==25 +[[image:lss-config-configurations.jpg||alt="LSS Config Configurations"]] 62 62 63 - {{lightboximage="lss-config-configurations.jpg"width="350"/}}27 +Upon connection, the software will read all configuration values and update the "configurations" section.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Should you select either of the two RC modes, the LSS Config software will no longer be able to communicate with the servo. You must use the button menu to return to LSS serial mode (hold the button, release, press twice). 74 - 75 -= Telemetry Graph = 76 - 77 77 The sensor graphing feature of the software allows you to select, display and record, with respect to time, the output from all of the servo's sensors. 78 78 79 -{ {lightboximage="lss-config-telemetry-graph.png" width="521"/}}37 +{More to come} 80 80 81 - x-Axis:seconds39 += Command Line = 82 82 83 -* Position: blue 84 -* Speed: green 85 -* Current: red 86 -* Voltage: yellow 87 -* Temperature: gray 41 +The custom command line interface both allows you to communicate directly with the servo and send commands (and view replies), as well as get status updates of the software. 88 88 89 -|(% style="width:76px" %)[[image:lss-config-visibility.jpg]]|(% style="width:488px" %)Sensor Feedback Visibility (ON)|(% style="width:137px" %)[[image:lss-config-visibility-off.jpg]]|(% style="width:777px" %)Sensor Feedback Visibility (OFF) 90 -|(% style="width:76px" %)[[image:lss-config-display-query.jpg]]|(% style="width:488px" %)Query value (ON)|(% style="width:137px" %)[[image:lss-config-display-query-off.jpg]]|(% style="width:777px" %)Query value (OFF) 91 -|(% style="width:76px" %)[[image:lss-config-play-icon.jpg]]|(% style="width:488px" %)Graphing (OFF)|(% style="width:137px" %)[[image:lss-config-play-icon-green.jpg]]|(% style="width:777px" %)Graphing (ON) 92 -|(% style="width:76px" %)[[image:lss-config-pause-icon.jpg]]|(% style="width:488px" %)Pause queries (OFF)|(% style="width:137px" %)[[image:lss-config-pause-icon-yellow.jpg]]|(% style="width:777px" %)Pause Queries (ON) 93 -|(% style="width:76px" %)[[image:lss-config-record-icon.jpg]]|(% style="width:488px" %)Record Sensor Queries (Not Recording)|(% style="width:137px" %)[[image:lss-config-record-icon-red.jpg]]|(% style="width:777px" %)Record Sensor Queries (Recording) 94 -|(% style="width:76px" %)[[image:lss-config-stop-icon.jpg]]|(% style="width:488px" %)Reset Graph|(% style="width:137px" %) |(% style="width:777px" %) 95 -|(% style="width:76px" %)[[image:lss-config-export-graph-icon.jpg]]|(% style="width:488px" %)Export recording to .csv (comma separated values)|(% style="width:137px" %) |(% style="width:777px" %)((( 96 -Export popup appears providing three options: 43 +{More to come} 97 97 98 -1) Export only recorded data ("YES") 2) Export all data (click "NO") 3) Cancel export 99 -))) 100 -|(% style="width:76px" %)[[image:lss-config-temperature-celcius.jpg]]|(% style="width:488px" %)Temperature Units (Celcius)|(% style="width:137px" %)[[image:lss-config-temperature-faren.jpg]]|(% style="width:777px" %)Temperature Units (Fahrenheit) 101 -|(% style="width:76px" %)[[image:lss-config-marker-circle.jpg]]|(% style="width:488px" %)Marker Icon Style (Circle)|(% style="width:137px" %)[[image:lss-config-marker-diamond.jpg]] [[image:lss-config-marker-square.jpg]]|(% style="width:777px" %)Marker Icon Style (Diamond / Square) 102 -|(% style="width:76px" %)[[image:lss-config-10s.jpg]]|(% style="width:488px" %)Time Window (10s)|(% style="width:137px" %)((( 103 -[[image:lss-config-30s.jpg]] [[image:lss-config-60s.jpg]] 104 104 105 -[[image:lss-config-300s.jpg]] [[image:lss-config-infs.jpg]] 106 -)))|(% style="width:777px" %)Time Window (30s / 60s / 300s / Total) 107 - 108 -= Command Line{{lightbox image="lss-config-terminal-0001" width="521"/}} = 109 - 110 -[[[[image:/info/wiki/lynxmotion/download/lynxmotion-smart-servo/lss-configuration-software/WebHome/lss-config-terminal-0001||width="521"]]>>path:/info/wiki/lynxmotion/download/lynxmotion-smart-servo/lss-configuration-software/WebHome/lss-config-terminal-0001||rel="lightbox"]] 111 - 112 - 113 - 114 -[[image:/info/wiki/lynxmotion/download/lynxmotion-smart-servo/lss-configuration-software/WebHome/lss-config-terminal-0001||width="521"]] 115 - 116 - 117 - 118 -[[image:/info/wiki/lynxmotion/download/lynxmotion-smart-servo/lss-configuration-software/WebHome/lss-config-terminal-0001||width="521"]] 119 - 120 - 121 - 122 -[[image:/info/wiki/lynxmotion/download/lynxmotion-smart-servo/lss-configuration-software/WebHome/lss-config-terminal-0001||width="521"]] 123 - 124 - 125 - 126 -The custom command line interface both allows you to communicate directly with an individual servo, send commands to it (and view replies), as well as get responses to queries from the software.
