Comms latency

Hi!

I'm commanding the AX3500 through the serial port. I've been sending commands and telemetry requests independently (as described in the manual). The problem is that if we sum up all communication delays per each command (i.e. sending a speed command, reading current speed, current current, etc.) I can't manage to have a proper control loop.

Is there any way of fetching all telemetry data from a single request? I think this would reduce the latency of the system

Thanks,
pfs

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">There is no way to get all telemetry information in a single query.

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">The best way around your problem is to interleave commands (if/when they need to be issued) and queries.

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">command

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">command
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">query temp
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">command
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">query voltage

Thx!

If you allow me I would suggest to add this as a new feature in your firmware.
