RGB LED Illuminator - Direct Control through Serial Port

The RGB LED Illuminator can be controlled by sending strings to the serial port. The simplest way is by using HyperTerminal, which should be set as follows: 9600 bits/sec., data bits 8, parity none, stop bits 1, flow control Xon/Xoff, select your COM port; in ASCII setup in the Send frame check "Echo typed characters locally", in the Receive frame check "Append line feeds to incoming line ends".

AV<channel><value>
Set intensity of the given channel, where:

<channel> = {A|B|C|D} for red, green, blue, and optional white or amber

<value> = an integer number between 0 and 500 (0 to 5V). 0 corresponds to full intensity, 500 corresponds to zero intensity.

Example: AVA355 - sets 3.55V on the red channel.

AD<channel><value>
Set power-up intensity of the given channel (default is zero intensity).
