Communicating with the Tracker 650

PreviousMounting Drawings (V1 pre-2025)NextFactory Defaults and Default Messages

Last updated 7 days ago

The Tracker 650 communicates via Ethernet (best choice) or TTL serial. Both interfaces are active on startup. Incoming messages received on either interface are treated identically, first-come, first-served. Outgoing messages are sent on both interfaces simultaneously. Both interfaces can be used simultaneously, but we recommend you do not send commands on both interfaces. If using both for monitoring, use one for monitoring and the other for monitoring/controlling.

Refer also to our ; SonarView is an application that may be able to manage all the setup communications for you.
