Serial Connection

SPAD.neXt can communicate with external devices like e.g. Arduino/Teensy via serial communication.

For a SPAD.neXt compatible Arduino library import CmdMessenger (4.0) into the Arduino IDE (recommended) or clone the github repository at https://github.com/thijse/Arduino-CmdMessenger

Request and Reply on both sides will always follow this format:

<COMMANDID>,<PARAM-1>,...,<PARAM-n>;

If ",","/" or ";" are used within the parameters, they have to be escaped by a leading "/". E.g.
15,Hello/, from Arduino;

Defined Command-ID's:

0 Command Channel SPAD.neXt -> Device
1 Command Channel Device -> SPAD.neXt
2 Event Channel SPAD.neXt -> Device
3 Debug Channel
4 Simulation Command Channel Device -> Simulation

5 .. 9 Reserved for future use
10..49 Data Update Channels (both directions)
