3. Example Commands

Set Baud Rate to 115200

Send: 

A4 06 01 06 B1
| A4 | 06 | 01 | 06 | B1 | |----|----|----|----|----| | Addr | Write | Reg | Data | Checksum |

Response: 

A4 06 01 06 B1

Set Update Rate to 10Hz

Send: 

A4 06 02 02 AE
| A4 | 06 | 02 | 02 | AE | |----|----|----|----|----| | Addr | Write | Reg | Data | Checksum |

Response: 

A4 06 02 02 AE

Read Registers

Send: 

A4 03 09 05 B5
| A4 | 03 | 09 | 05 | B5 | |----|----|----|----|----| | Addr | Read | Start Reg | Count | Checksum |

Response Example: 

A4 03 09 05 0001008B08 49
| A4 | 03 | 09 | 05 | [Values] | 49 | |----|----|----|----|----------|----| | Addr | Read | Start Reg | Count | Data | Checksum |

4. Output Modes

Continuous Output

  1. Set output mode register (0x03) to 0.
  2. Send read data frame (set start register and count).

Query Output

  1. Set output mode register (0x03) to 1.
  2. Send read data frame each time you want data.

Note: Output format is set by the read data frame. Mode is set by register 0x03.

5. PC Software Usage

  • Use [GY_UVI.zip] for Windows.
  • Select the COM port connected to the module, baud rate, and ID (default 0xA4, or 0x00 if unknown).
  • Config reg: This section corresponds to configurable registers. After changing any register, press Enter or click elsewhere to write the config to the module.
  • Read reg: This section is for reading module registers. Set the start register and number of registers to read, then click "read" to send the command.

Continuous Mode

  1. Set start register and number of registers to read.
  2. Set update rate.
  3. Set mode to continuous.

Query Mode

  1. Set start register and number of registers to read.
  2. Set update rate.
  3. Set mode to query.
  4. For each query, repeat step 1 (send read register frame).

6. Arduino Example

  • See [arduino_usart.ino] for sample code.
