Command: act


Description:

Manipulates a number of actuator outputs. These are direct means of switching on and off various outputs for the control of solenoids and other various devices on the satellite board(s). Note that this command is designed for diagnostic purposes only, and not for the regular control of the various air cylinders. Thus there are come cylinder which require two separate "act" commands before it will move. Use the other "mid-level" diagnostic commands for safely moving individual cylinders.

When no parameters are given, a listing of the available outputs and a little description of each one is displayed.

CAUTION: These are "low level" commands, meaning that there are no safety checks done by the firmware before the command is executed.
