81 +*** #254QID120  -  For example, this command can scan the entire bus at once for servos without conflict.
82 82  *** Servos use a simple formula to delay their response: 200usec + <id> * 120usec, where <id> is their servo ID 0 to 253.
83 83  *** The first parameter (ex. 120) indicates how many milliseconds to delay between IDs and 120usec is a safe number.
84 84  *** Warning: #254QID with no parameter will still conflict to remain backward compatible with the LSS Config software

94 94  *** Note: You only need to configure slots once on power-up, #254<cmd> will offset all servo replies based on slot# after this is set.
95 95  *** Note: Why not just use servo ID as slot#? Many LSS bus setups are not using sequential IDs so it's more efficient to assign slot# then expect everyone to change their robot's logical servo IDs to be sequential.
