Karbon 300 Rugged Computer 5.1 - Overview The microcontroller on the Karbon 300 controls several systems, including: • Automotive Ignition Power Sensing • CAN bus • • Status LEDs • Power management and wake-up • DisplayPort CEC and persistent EDID A segment is exposed for user control via two serial ports.
If automation is required any programming language that can attach to a serial interface can be used to automate reading and writing to Karbon 300’s IO. This example uses Python and the pySerial module: 1. Download and install Python 3 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/...
Recommended baudrate: 9600 • Note: Because the Karbon 300 operates using a virtual serial port, it is able to support a broad range of baudrates. It is not required to operate the serial interface at the recommended rate. 2. Flow Control •...
Karbon 300 Rugged Computer 5.3.2 - Commands • Commands sent to the K300 should be in all lower case transmitted to the Serial Terminal port in a single transaction. Commands are not sensitive to line termination. • An error response will be sent if an unsupported command is sent or if the command is transmitted with the wrong number of accompanying arguments.
