LED Control API - Comms Commands

Addressing (multi-drop)

Commands can be sent to a particular LED by appending “|” (pipe) and the device’s serial number (e.g. ~device set lamp target:100|SUBC20150)

Serial settings

Baud Rate: 115200

Byte Size: 8

Parity: None

Stop Bits: 1

Flow Control: None

All commands start with a ‘~’ (tilde) character and end with a ‘\n’ (newline). Commands are not case-sensitive and the order of command words does not matter.

~comms set multidrop:# 1 or 0	Enables or disables multidrop mode. In multidrop mode, unit must execute serial commands with no address, and commands with matching "\|SUBC#####" to-address, but not commands addressed to a different serial number. Unit must only send serial feedback for commands with matching "\|SUBC#####" to-address. All responses should have "_SUBC#####" from-address appended.
~comms set driver baud:#	Set baud rate of all controller ports. Can be an index from list below or literal baud rate. 0 = 9600 1 = 115200 2 = 57600 3 = 19200 4 = 4800 5 = 250000
~comms set auto echo:#	If enabled, auto echo inserts an echo character at the beginning of every line so all serial output is visible in SubC software.
~comms print status	Print all comms status information.
~comms ping	Echo “@ping”. Can be used to test serial operation.
