MH: Motor Home: EXP Bus Protocol Reference

Understanding EXP board addressing

This command is used with FAST Expansion and FAST breakout boards via a FAST Serial Protocol (FSP) connection to the EXP Bus. Please read the EXP Overview to understand the operation of these commands and addresses.

This command is used to run a motor on the expansion bus in the reverse direction until it reaches the home switch. This can be an expansion board (with a 2-character address) or a breakout board (with a 3-character address).

Command Syntax

MH:<index>[,time_ms>]<cr>

<index>

This is the motor number you want to update. Individual motors are accessed numbered 0-31 (hex 00 - 1F) since that's the maximum number of motors that can be attached to a single breakout board.

<time_ms>

Optional maximum time to run in milliseconds, ranging from 0-65535 (0000 - FFFF hex). Motor will halt if it hasn't ativated the home switch in this time.
