This allows you to control your HamShield using any serial interface, including a computer over USB. This can be helpful when using one of the Chrome applications. + +With the exception of some special commands, all serial commands are terminated with a semicolon ; and does not require any carriage return, line feed, etc. (ie: no new lines or enter keys required). The command is executed immediately after the reception of the ; character and waits for the next command. + +Commands are not echoed to the sender. Only status responses are provided back over the serial port. + +HamShield Serial Interface Commands + +` + + + + + + + +
