NT Motor&Encoder Module CLI
Accessing the CLI of a NT motor&encoder module requires using a standard terminal program, such as HTerm.
For accessing the CLI, the STorM32 main board is used, so to say, as a USB-TTL adapter to connect the NT module to the PC. That is, the NT motor module is connected to the STorM32 main board on the NT bus and the STorM32 main board is connected to a PC, typically via the main board's USB port. Before the CLI can be accessed, the STorM32 main board has first to be put into a pass-through mode by sending the special command "xQTNTQMODE0X" to it, where X = 4 for accessing the pitch NT motor module, X = 5 for roll, and X = 6 for yaw. The STorM32 board then works as tunnel connecting the PC with the selected NT module. In the terminal program the baud rate is typically set to 115200 bps.
Comment: The CLI can also be accessed by connecting the NT motor module on its NT port directly to a PC via a USB-TTL adapter, pretty much as one would do it for the Live Recording, except that now both the Tx and Rx lines need to be connected to the USB-TTL adapter. In the terminal program the baud rate must be set to 2000000 bps.
