Send commands through Serial communications with 115200 boudrate, no parity and no \n or \r or \n\r needed. Device is always listening to serial port.

First character is p or v. p stands for position (your setting up a movement from your current position) and v stands for velocity.

So if you send:

p30

You will move CCW 30 degrees.

It accepts negatives and decimals, such

p-60.5

Where you will be moving 60.5 degrees from your current position CW

Works the same way with velocity.

v30

And you will constantly rotate 30 deg/second CCW.

If you're using command line to send the commands, you can append them by adding a sleep 1. Example (considering your port is ttyACM0):

$ echo -ne 'p360' > /dev/ttyACM0 && sleep 1 && echo -ne 'p-360' > /dev/ttyACM0

This command will turn your table 360 deg CCW and then 360 deg CW.

You will receive something like that:

p, 30, 3242

Where p means you have send a position command, to turn 30 degrees CCW and 3242 are the milliseconds since you start the microcontroller. If you sent velocity, you will get something like that:

v, 60,3453
