5.1 - Overview
The microcontroller on Karbon 800 series controls several systems, including:
●
Automotive ignition power sensing
●
CAN bus
●
DIO
●
Status LEDs
●
DisplayPort CEC and persistent EDID
●
Input voltage monitoring
●
RTOS Capabilities
A segment is exposed for user control via two serial ports. By reading and writing to these serial
ports, the user can send and receive CAN messages, read/set the DIO state, and select from a
number of configuration options. One port is dedicated to Karbon 800’s CAN bus, while the other
doubles as a serial terminal and the DIO interface. Any configuration settings may be saved to
non-volatile memory which means the MCU settings will be retained during a long power-off.
The serial interfaces can be controlled through Pykarbon, the karbon series’ very own MCU interface
tool. To learn more about how to use the Karbon series MCU and Pykarbon interface tools, visit our
