HydraFerret Command Line Interface (CLI)

Enfield Cat's Blog: Arduino and other projects.


Introduction

This is a placeholder page showing the help output from HydraFerret. This should be expanded at a later date to give a fuller description of each command. Newer versions of HydraFerret are likely to have a bigger command and configuration set. Check the help command of your installed system(s)

Note the HydraFerret command line is presented on the serial port running at 115200 baud, 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. It is mirrored on BlueTooth (if enabled) and telnet (if enabled). Precompiled versions of HydraFerret do not include BlueTooth support as it adds to consderably to the image size. This console is a single console device that is "screen shared" between devices. When blueTooth or telnet is connected, it will prompt for a password but the password can be entered from any connected device. The default password is "MySecret", this is case sensitive.


Command Set

This is similar to the output of the help command without any parameters. You can also specify the command as a parameter to help, to get help on the specific command.

adc [<pin> disable]
adc [<pin> <unit-of-measure> <attenuation> <offset> <multiplier>]
    Configure adc (Analogue to Digital Conversion)
    NB: pin number must be in range 32-39
        attenuation range 0-3 sets FSD: 0=800mV, 1=1.1V, 2=1.35V, 3=2.6V
        voltages beyond those indicated may produce non-linear results
altitude [<altitude> [m|ft]]
    Set altitude of unit for pressure compensation
ansi [{bold|command|error|normal|time} <attribute-list>]
ansi [test]
    Set colour attributes when ANSI colourisation is enabled
    Attribute-list is a semicolon separated list of the following:
    Attributes: support may vary between terminal types
        0 - reset       1 - bold      3 - italic     4 - underline
        5 - blink       7 - reverse video            9 - strikeout
    Colours: "30 + number" for text, "40 + number" for background
        0 - black       1 - red       2 - green      3 - yellow
        4 - purple      5 - purple    6 - cyan       7 - white
    "test" gives a preview of the colour combinations described above
