I n t r o d u c t i o n

This document outlines Velodyne’s SubContractor (SC) RS-232 protocol specification. This protocol indicates how SC products receive run-time commands from devices such as Creston Universal Remote Controls.

Com Por t Setup

Use standard communications settings: Baud Rate: 9600, Data Bits: 8, Parity: None,

Stop Bits: 1

SC IN and OUT Por t Pin Configuration

Pin 3 = Receive

Pin 5 = Ground

OUT: Pin 2 = Receive

Pin 3 = Transmit

Pin 5 = Ground
