General Settings

The General Settings page covers the core communication and timing parameters that affect the whole system.


Serial Output

Setting Description
Baud Rate Speed for the primary serial port (GPIO43/44). Must match the device receiving commands (WCB, etc.). Common values: 9600, 19200, 57600, 115200.
Delimiter The character used inside serial string templates to split a single string into multiple lines. Enter the character directly — e.g. : — and Amidala stores its ASCII value internally. When a serial string is sent, each delimiter is replaced with the configured end-of-line sequence.
End of Line The line terminator appended after each serial string (and after each delimiter split). Options: LF (\n), CR (\r), or CRLF (\r\n). Match the expectation of the receiving device.

Timing

Setting Description
Controller Timeout How long (ms) without a signal from the XBee controller before the drive is stopped and the controller is considered disconnected.
Drive Inactivity Timeout How long (ms) the drive can sit at zero throttle before the motor outputs are disabled (to prevent heat buildup on idle motor controllers).

Other

Setting Description
Volume Default startup volume level.
Speed Mode Default speed mode at startup (slow or fast).
