!!! every byte is "echoed" by the µC !!!
PC Address ("CR" not allowed)
PC Command No. (ranging from 0 to A, number as ascii code)
PC Direction & Mode (ranging from 0 to F, number as ascii code)
PC Steps Digit 6 (ranging from 0 to F, number as ascii code)
...
PC Digit 1 (ranging from 0 to F, number as ascii code)
PC "CR"
Command No. decode as follows
0 move motor, master mode
1 move motor, slave mode
2 set maximum stepping frequency
3 set acceleration
4 write GPIO
5 read GPIO
6 snapshot steps to do
7 home search (to be implemented)
8 check motor status
9 check software version
A stop motor
Direction & Mode decode as follows
0 full step, clockwise
1 full step, counterclockwise
2 half step, clockwise
3 half step, counterclockwise
4 quarter step, clockwise
5 quarter step, counterclockwise
6 quarter step, clockwise
7 quarter step, counterclockwise
8-F same as 0-7, but with /SyncMaster impulse
Example: "B04000100"
device address B; command 0 (move motor, master mode); quarterstep, clockwise; 256 steps
Please note:
The command end sign is not allowed to appear at any other position.
If motor no. is out of range the command is ignored.
Further characters following time digit 1 will be ignored. Commands with
more than 128 bytes will lead to an overflow. The length of command
lines for non µC control devices is not limited.
