Read Digital Input

The OEM Host issues this command to read the state of GI0 input pins. Pins configured as outputs will report their current state.

Command: <0xCC> <0x20>

Number of Bytes Returned: 2

Response: <0xCC> <Digital In>

Parameter Range: <Digital In> = bit-0: GI0

Read ADC

The OEM Host issues this command to read the onboard 12-bit A/D converters.

This command allows a very detailed amount of customization. The OEM Host can select which pin or sensor to monitor, the resolution of the measurement and the reference voltage to measure the input ADC against.

Greater Resolution will provide a more detailed response, but will introduce additional latency.

The following equations can be used to determine the voltages associated with the ADC value returned:

ADC value× [] ADIn = --------------------------REFvoltage

[RES]

Command:<0xCC> <0x21> <Channel> <Resolution> <Ref>

Number of bytes Returned: 3

Response: <0xCC> <Hi ADC> <Lo ADC>

Write Digital Outputs

The OEM Host issues this command to write both digital output lines to particular states.

The OEM Host must write the value of all digital outputs at once. Each bit represents a GIO. The first 8 bits are resserved and not in use.

Command: <0xCC> <0x23> <Digital Out[1-0]>

Number of Bytes Returned: 2

Response: 0xCC <Digital Out [1-0]>

Parameter Range:

<Digital Out>= bit-0: GO0 bit-1: GO1 bit-2: GO2 bit-3: GO3 bit-4: GO4 bit-5: GO5 bit-6: GO6 bit-7: GO7 bit-8-15 : Reserved
