Serial Terminal Use guide

How to use the serial terminal interface

The interface provides a simple and lightweight way to configure and monitor the BMS while it's connected to a PC via USB.

For all configurable parameters, check the wiki page https://github.com/SimosMCmuffin/FlexiBMS_Lite_FW/wiki/List-of-All-Parameters that will be updated along new firmware versions.

---

Currently all commands start with the character '$' followed either by a letter for a command or a number for a configurable parameter. If an erroneous command is given that the BMS doesn't recognize, the BMS responds with a "Invalid command, type "$?" for command list" message.

example CMD	Description
$?	Prints the command menu
$W	Prints out the FW version number
$D	Loads default values to all configurable parameters, strongly recommended to use after up-/downgrading FW to make sure the non-volatile parameters data structures stay in proper alignment
$R	Turns BMS' state
$$	Prints out all the configurable parameters and their values

example CMD	Description
$0	Returns the value for parameter #0
$0=10	Writes the value 10 to parameter #0 and then echos the new value back
$21=1.0531	Writes the value 1.0531 to parameter #21 and then echos the new value back, note some parameters take floating point values as inputs
