The Lynxmotion Smart Servos (LSS) are compact, modular and configurable actuators designed to be an evolution of the standard RC servo for use in multi-degree-of-freedom robotics. The servo lineup currently includes three “smart servos” which appear physically the same, sharing the same dimensions, mounting points and output spline, but differing in maximum torque and speed.
...
The lynx motion has a simple serial protocol for controlling the motor, that is human-readable:
Number sign #
Servo ID number as an integer
Action command (two to three letters, no spaces, capital or lower case)
Configuration value in the correct units with no decimal
End with a control / carriage return '<cr>'
Ex: #5PD1443<cr>
Additional Parts:
...
This example cycles through the LED colours of the smart servos.
Important. The folowing examples are writen using Lynx smart motion Arduino library 1.4.1. Newer versions no longer support Software Serial. If you wish to be able to select which pins the servos are connected to (as in examples below), install the older version of the library-

#include <LSS.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial servoSerial(8, 9);
// give the id matching your device
#define LSS_ID (254) // ID 254 to broadcast to every motor on bus
// Create one LSS object
LSS myLSS = LSS(LSS_ID);
void setup()
{
servoSerial.begin(LSS_DefaultBaud);
LSS::initBus(servoSerial, LSS_DefaultBaud);
}
void loop()
{
// Loop through each of the 8 LED color (black = 0, red = 1, ..., white = 7)
for (uint8_t i = LSS_LED_Black; i <= LSS_LED_White; i++){
// Set the color (session only) of the LSS
