If you mistype please start a new command.=== Using fit-statUSB from command line ===
echo [command] > \\.\[com port]
* [command] - the command sent to fit-statUSB over serial
Assuming fit-statUSB is on COM10 the following command will set fit-statUSB color to red:
powershell "$fitstatUSB= new-Object System.IO.Ports.SerialPort COM10; $fitstatUSB.open(); $fitstatUSB.WriteLine('#FF0000'); $fitstatUSB.Close()"
== Using fit-statUSB in Linux ==
=== Using fit-statUSB from terminal ===
==== Using Bash Command line ====
* First you need to configure the Serial port
sudo stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 9600 raw -echo -echoe -echok -echoctl -echoke
* Send the command directly to the TYY port
echo "B#FF0000-1000#00FF00-500" > /dev/ttyACM0
- Please note that some Linux distributions will require sudo privileges to echo directly to serial
==== Sample Python code ====
* Python dependencies: pyserial
import serial<br>
ser = serial.Serial("/dev/ttyACM0")
ser.write(b"B#FF0000-500#00FF00-500#0000FF-500\n")
ser.close()
- Note that new line must be addded at the end of the command String
=== Detect fit-statUSB Serial Port ===
To Detect the system assigned TTY device:
sudo dmesg
