A Hint for Programmers
Here is the most efficient method for sending commands:
1. Send the CTRL-A and wait until the Controller responds with the prompt >. A loop
that retrieves one byte at a time from the serial port and checks for the > is best.
2. Send the command one character at a time. The Controller will respond by echoing
each character. Waiting for the character to be echoed will ensure that the
Controller has received the character and is waiting for the next one.
3. Once the command is complete, send a
mode.
4. If you send a
received. Then continue sending commands as described in step 2.
