(RI) Read Input State

Reads the state of the analog control inputs.
Command:

 

RI <address> <input><cr>

Where 

<input>

 is a decimal number 

1-8

.

Response:

 

<value> <ACK/NAK><cr>

If the input is a pot, 

<value>

 is always returned as 3 decimal digits with a range of 

000-255

.

 

000

 = pot arm at ground

  

255

 = pot arm at max

If the input is an encoder, 

<value>

 is always returned as 3 decimal digits with a range of 

000-255

. The step size is assumed 

as 1. Encoder range can be limited with the 

EN

 and 

EX

 commands. When used as encoder inputs, the analog control inputs 

feature a built in acceleration function to speed large changes.
If the input is a dual switch, 

<value>

 is:

 

000

 = No switches on

  

001

 = Lower (A) switch on

 

010

 = Upper (B) switch on

  

011

 = Both switches on

Note:

 If 

<input>

 is outside the 

1-8

 range, a 

NAK

 is returned along with a 

<value>

 of 

0

. If the port mode wasn’t previously 

set up, a “

NAK

” is returned along with a 

<value>

 of 

0

.

(SO) Set Open Collector Initial Value

Allows the powerup value of the open collectors to be set. This is useful for initializing the open collector outputs to a given state 

on powerup.
Command:

 

SO <address> <output> <state><cr>

Where 

<output>

 is a decimal number 

1-8

 and 

<state>

 is 

0

 for off and 

1

 or greater for on. When the open collector is off, 

the voltage at the open collector is pulled high to 5 volts allowing an attached LED to light. When the open collector driver is on, 

there is a low impedance between the output and ground connections allowing an external load to sink current.
Response:

 

<ACK/NAK><cr>

If 

<value>

 is greater than 

255

 or 

<input>

 is outside the 

1-8

 range, a “

NAK

” is returned. This value is saved and restored 

on powerup.

(OC) Open Collector Output Control

Turns open collector outputs on (active low) or off (tristate, normally pulled high). These outputs first initialize to off (high), 

however this initial state can be changed with the 

Set Open Collector Initial Value

 command.

Command:

 

OC <address> <output> <state><cr>

Where 

<output>

 is a decimal number 

1-8

 and 

<state>

 is 

0

 for off and 

1

 or greater for on. When the open collector is off, 

the voltage at the open collector is pulled high to 5 volts allowing an attached LED to light. When the open collector driver is on, 

there is a low impedance between the output and ground connections allowing an external load to sink current.
Response:

 

<ACK/NAK><cr>
