Serial Communication
To use the SRF02 in Serial mode, make sure the Mode pin is connected to 0v Ground.
Serial data is fixed at 9600 baud 1 start, 2 stop and no parity bits. Serial data is a TTL level signal - It is NOT RS232. Do not connect the SRF02 to an RS232 port - you will destroy the module! If you would like to connect the SRF02 to your PC's RS232 port, you must use a MAX232 or similar device. It can also be used (in I2C mode) with the USBI2C module to make a self powered USB ranger, see the examples page for details. Many small controllers such as the OOPic, Stamp BS2p, PicAxe etc. as well as a wide variety of micro-controllers have serial ports. To communicate with the SRF02, you simply need to send two bytes, the address of the SRF02
(factory default is 0) and the command. The default shipped address can be
changed by the user to any of 16 addresses 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15, therefore up to 16 sonar's can be used.
