Version 367

Released 2019-10-07

• Fixes:
  • Minor improvements to handling of low-speed motion control. More updates coming soon on this front!
  • Encoder issue that would sometimes cause random fast motion, ignoring speed restrictions.

Version 365

Released 2019-09-12

• New commands:
  • New modifiers for position commands CH & CL. Allows moving "into" an object so it can be held without going into safe mode (limiting applied current in mA). CH holds position on collision and CL goes limp instead.
• Fixes:
  • Mode 255 would sometimes stay active or cause the LSS to respond to other servo IDs

Version 362

Released 2019-05-01

• Initial production version (first official release).
• New commands:
  • CLB/QLB to control the blinking of the RGB LED during various phases of motion.
• New features:
  • Added failsafe to go from RC mode back to serial mode by placing a HIGH signal (5 V DC) on RX for 30 s.
• Fixes:
  • Improved LED patterns for clarity.
  • ID is now kept during a firmware update.
