Serial

In this panel, users must configure the parameters of the different serial ports, Veronte LOS, RS485 and RS232, in their corresponding tab.

However, as the parameters to be configured are shared across all serial ports, they are explained here:

• Baudrate: This specifies how fast data is sent over a serial line.

  Warning

  Veronte Autopilot 1x has a buffer limit of 16 bytes, which is read every 1 ms. Therefore, if the message is larger than 16 bytes, the maximum viable baudrate will be 160,000 bps. If the configured baudrate is higher than 160,000 bps and the message is larger than 16 bytes, then Autopilot 1x will lose data.

  Nonetheless, if the message is smaller or equal to 16 bytes, then the baudrate will not have this limitation.

• Length: This defines the number of data bits in each character: 4 to 8 bits.

• Stop: Number of stop bits sent at the end of every character: 1, 1.5, 2.
• Parity: Is a method of detecting errors in transmission. When parity is used with a serial port, an extra data bit is sent with each data character, arranged so that the number of 1 bits in each character, including the parity bit. Disabled, odd or even.

Veronte LOS

In this panel, the serial port that communicates from the microcontroller to the internal radio is configured.

RS232/RS485/UART

Three serial interfaces are available with Autopilot 1x, 1 port RS-232, 1 port RS-485 and one port UART, however more can be added by using a CEX or MEX. Each one of the serial interfaces is associated with a set of pins.
