d. Once the status is connected, user is free to control stepper motor using SD02B.

e. If you wish to communicate at higher baudrate, you may select the desired baudrate

from the list and click on “Set New Baudrate” button. This will change the baudrate at

both the GUI and SD02B. Press Reset button on SD02B will change the baudrate to

its default value, which is 9600.

f. By using SD02B GUI, user may on/off the motor, run/brake the motor, set the

stepping speed, change direction, reset/track/request the encoder value (number of

steps), accelerate the stepper motor from a specified initial speed to a final speed at

desired acceleration rate and choose among 2/5/10 microstepping mode or non-

microstepping mode.

g. Since the GUI VB.net source code is provided, user can refer to the source code and

modify it or write a new program to create own GUI for own application. The GUI is

written with Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. Any version older than

this may not be able to open the project file. If it is the case, user needs to install the

newer version or recreate the VB.net project in older version.
