8	8	RC hobby servo motors have three pins; the black wire is ground (GND), the middle (red) wire is VCC (normally 4.8V to 6V) and the last wire (commonly yellow or white) is the signal wire. The signal wire is meant to receive 5V PWM pulses which are repeated every 20-30 milliseconds. The onboard electronics receive and time these pulses and associate them to angular positions. If no RC pulse is received, the servo goes limp. Note that by default many handheld RC transmitters only send between 600 to 2400 (slightly limited range).

14	14	All three Lynxmotion Smart Servo motors can be used with normal hobby remote control (RC) electronics including handheld remote controls and RC servo controllers. Unlike normal RC servo motors however, the Lynxmotion servo's configurations can be changed via programming. There are two methods to change from serial to RC mode: via the [[LSS - Button Menu>>doc:Lynxmotion Smart Servo (LSS).LSS - Button Menu.WebHome||style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"]] or sending a CRC command (explained on the [[communication protocol>>doc:Lynxmotion Smart Servo (LSS).LSS - Communication Protocol.WebHome]] page). Note: Each mode can have the rotation reversed, but clockwise is standard (equivalent to CW1 or CW-1 commands).

	29	+Wheel mode is where a centered pulse of 1500 represents stop, and increasing the pulse towards 2500 increases the speed (for example CW), whereas decreasing the speed towards 500 increases the speed in the opposite direction (ex. CCW).
