1	1	Lynxmotion's Servo Erector Set (S.E.S.) is a modular robotic construction system which allows a near infinite variety of different (and complex) robots and systems. Imagine your next robotic creation, get the parts you need to build it, and then control it! Lynxmotion's first Servo Erector Set came out in 2009 and a wide variety of different kits were created using the V1 system, including several robot arms, a variety of bipeds, a plethora of hexapods and more. The V2 system, released in 2019, is an evolution of the original SES V1 and was created with the following goals:

	31	+The SES V2 system is meant to be powered using either batteries or a wall adapter. When building a mobile robot, the suggested pack is the Lynxmotion 11.1V, 3500mAh Lithium Ion battery pack, which can be charged from most Li-Ion battery chargers via the four-pin charging connector. Alternatively, most 2S (7.4V) and 3S (11.1V) Lithium-based battery packs with XT60 connector can be used with the LSS Servos. The servos can be powered using as little as 6V, though if a battery pack selected drops below this value, the servos will cut.

	33	+When creating a stationary robot like a robotic arm, the suggested wall adapter is the Lynxmotion 12V, 6A wall adapter with XT60 connector. If a different wall adapter is selected which has a standard barrel connector, power can be supplied using the LSS Power Hub as intermediary, leaving the LSS Adapter's XT60 not connected. Note that the LSS Power Hub cannot provide ~~3A to all servos in the bug whereas the LSS Adapter is designed to handle servos connected to a bus.

29	29	There is a variety of software available for the erector set V1 (SSC-32 and SSC-32U RC servo controllers) and V2 (smart servos). Software for the V2 includes the LSS Config, which is a tool to qeasily control, configure and update individual smart servos, a new version of FlowArm designed for using the smart servos, as well as libraries in Arduino, Python and ROS. Additional software to come.

33	33	The SES mounting pattern was based on two holes which are used for mounting objects to a Hitec standard servo horn such as the Hitec HS-422. The holes are meant for 2-56 (imperial) threaded screws. Screws which are 1/4 inch long are able to hold together two brackets with enough thread protruding to add a 2-56 nut. In most situations only two screws are needed, though four screws can be used. The mounting pattern has evolved to include three variations:
