Example: SET:P1=100\r\n or SET:PWM=200\r\n
Example: SET:T1=320\r\n
\r\n means Carriage return Linefeed
The FPC mode can be entered by typing FPC\r\n
This mode requieres a baud rate greater than 19200 bd.
8 Bytes are send every 10ms. 1 Startbyte, two Bytes Temperature T1, two Bytes Temperature T2, 1 Byte PWM, 1 Byte LED, 1 Stop byte.
The Startbyte has the value 00,
The Stopbyte has the value 0XFF,
The Temperaturebytes are signed integer,
The PWM-Byte is CHAR, 0-255,
The LED-Byte is CHAR, 0,1,2,3 or 4
After that, a pause must follow with at least 6ms.
10 frames per second are send.
