The simple python program amc_test.py can be used to send individual
commands to the AMC system. It sends hexadecimal commands to the AMC controller
board (AMContr_R3).
Caution: The firmware version 6 (2.1.6) is required on the AMC controller!
Send the standard command (0x07 = "center") over the standard serial port
/dev/ttyS0 to the standard AMC controller (with address 0x65) and select
the standard stepper motor driver card (0) .
./amc_test.py
Send the command 0x07 = "center" over the serial port /dev/ttyS1 with
host PC ID 0xf7 to the AMC controller with address 0x65 and select stepper
motor driver 0. Produce verbose output.
./amc_test.py -d /dev/ttyS1 -a 0x65 -b 0 -c 0x07 -p 0xf7 -v 3
