Torque and current overload protection

[elpidiovaldez]

I am just starting with these servos and would really appreciate a fairly fool-proof, high-level api for setting up protection on the servo. - I'd like to not burn it out while I am still learning!

I've read all the documents that I can find, but I am still not clear on how to set some conservative limits.

If you want to keep "conservative" limits, just keep the default values or reduce a few some of them.

By default:

• Maximum temperature: 70 (°C)
• Protection current: 500 (Corresponding to: 500 * 6.5mA= 3250mA)
• Protection torque: 20 (Correspond to 20% of the hardware set limit)
• Overload torque: 80 (Correspond to 80% of the limit)
• Overcurrent protection time: 200 (Correspond to 2s, you can set 100 if you want to reduce the overcurrent period)
