32h

 

 

 

 

 

 

Description

The Reset Device command returns the unit to a reset, or park position. This command

 

 

functions the same as 96h and A2h.

 

 

 

35h

 

 

 

 

 

Command Name

Power Down Motor

 

 

 

 

 

Command Format

35h

 

 

 

 

 

 

Description

The Power Down Motor command shuts off current to the stepper motor, which

 

 

decreases current consumption to about 50 mA.

 

 

 

After being powered down, the stepper motor will not hold its position. It must be

 

 

 

reset to re-establish operation after using this command.

 

 

 

This command functions the same as 43h and 6Ch.
