The Serial Pea received RS232 strings and converts these into 8 open collector outputs. It also loops through the received RS232 for linking to other devices. It has four modes of operation.
- Map Mode – using a single byte to set the state of all outputs.
- Mask Mode – using a single byte to change the state of a single output.
- Bit Mode – uses 2 bytes to change the status of a single output.
- Pea Mode – allows the use of arbitrary strings from 1 to 14 bytes for on & off
In all modes the outputs can be selected to either latch until changed of only give a 1, 2 or 4 second pulse.
