 Official Lynxmotion Smart Servo (LSS) libraries for Python
 
-Read more about the LSS on our [wiki](https://www.robotshop.com/info/wiki/lynxmotion/view/lynxmotion-smart-servo/).
+Read more about the LSS on our [wiki](https://wiki.lynxmotion.com/info/wiki/lynxmotion/view/ses-v2/lynxmotion-smart-servo/).
+
+If you want more details about the LSS protocol, go [here](https://wiki.lynxmotion.com/info/wiki/lynxmotion/view/ses-v2/lynxmotion-smart-servo/lss-communication-protocol/).
+
+To configure your LSS easily, we recommend you try out the [LSS Config](https://www.robotshop.com/products/lynxmotion-lss-configuration-software?qd=e28060e7570ef850c9f4421ea1dccf99).
+More details about it [on the wiki](https://wiki.lynxmotion.com/info/wiki/lynxmotion/view/ses-v2/lynxmotion-smart-servo/lss-configuration-software/).
+
+Purchase any LSS model on and accessories at [RobotShop](https://www.robotshop.com)!
+
+Check out blogs, tutorials and post questions on the RobotShop [community site](https://www.robotshop.com/community/).
+
+## Installation
+
+This project uses [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for dependency management. If you don't have uv installed:
+
+```bash
+# Install uv (Linux/macOS)
+curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
+
+# Or using pip
+pip install uv
+```
+
+### Install the library
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/motius/pyLSS
+cd PyLSS
+
+# Install dependencies
+uv sync
+
+# Or install in development mode with all dependencies
+uv sync --all-groups
+```
+
+### Using the library in your project
+
+```python
+import serial
+from pylss import LSS
+
+# Create and open a serial connection
+bus = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', 115200, timeout=0.1)
+
+# Create an LSS servo controller for servo ID 5
+servo = LSS(5, bus)
+
+# Move to 45 degrees
+servo.move_deg(45.0)
+
+# Get current position
+position = servo.get_position_deg()
+print(f"Current position: {position}°")
+
+# Get servo information
+model = servo.get_model()
+voltage = servo.get_voltage()
+temperature = servo.get_temperature()
+
+print(f"Model: {model}")
+print(f"Voltage: {voltage}mV")
+print(f"Temperature: {temperature/10}°C")
+
+# Clean up
+bus.close()
+```
+
+## Running Examples
+
+The repository includes several example scripts in the [examples](examples/) directory:
+
+## Testing
+
+The library includes a comprehensive test suite using pytest with mocked serial communication, so no hardware is required to run tests.
+
+### Run all tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+uv run pytest tests/
 
-If you want more details about the LSS protocol, go [here](https://www.robotshop.com/info/wiki/lynxmotion/view/lynxmotion-smart-servo/lss-communication-protocol/).
+# Run with verbose output
+uv run pytest tests/ -v
 
-To configure your LSS easily, we recommend you try out the [LSS Config](https://www.robotshop.com/en/lynxmotion-smart-servo-lss-configuration-software.html). More details about it [on the wiki](https://www.robotshop.com/info/wiki/lynxmotion/view/lynxmotion-smart-servo/lss-configuration-software/).
+# Run with coverage report
+uv run pytest tests/ --cov=pylss
 
-Purchase any LSS model on [RobotShop.com](https://www.robotshop.com/en/lynxmotion-smart-servos.html) and get [accessories](https://www.robotshop.com/en/lynxmotion-servos-accessories-1.html), too!
+# Run specific test class
+uv run pytest tests/test.py::TestLSSActionMethods -v
+```

+All tests use mocked serial objects, making them fast and reliable without requiring physical hardware.
