Some Commands may not change value - locked
The CMD$$ displays each parameter, and spv$$### saves each parameter with the value indicated.
To actually store the parameters in the flash memory you need to send "spv45" to save all
parameters at once. The "$$" on the spv is the command number, and the "###" is the value,
Some parameters have single digit value, some two digit value and some 3 digit value.
All values are characters!
Here is a list of the default parameters values you should get when you issue the CMD44 command
(if not like this, you may reset the default parameters via button combination)
01.Motornumber 2-8: 4
04.Park Position 0-254: 1
05.Park_Move_Speed 1-100%: 11
06.Park_Move_Timeout 1-90: 5
07.Standby Position 10-245: 127
08.Standby Speed 0-100%: 24
09.Standby Timeout 1-90: 5
10.Disable park type 1-5: 1
13.Actuator Limits 0-50%: 1
14.Kill switch mode 1-2: 1
CMD55 returns the following numeric values separated by colon ( : ) punctuation mark:
"data:" <Motornumber> ":" <Parkposition> ":" <Parkmovespeed> ":" <Parkmovetimeout> ":" <StandbyPosition> ":" <StandbySpeed> ":"<StandbyTimeout> ":" <Disableparktype> ":" <ActuatorLimits> ":" <Killswitchmode> ":" <Firmwareversion> ":" <AMCModel>
