User Manual

The Errors tab in the Maestro Control Center.

The Errors tab indicates problems that the Maestro has detected while running, either communications

errors or errors generated by bugs in a script.

Each error corresponds to a bit in the two-byte error register. The red LED will be on as long as any of

the bits in the error register are set to 1 (it can also be turned on by the led_on script command). The

value of the error register is displayed in the upper right corner of the main window.

When an error occurs, the corresponding bit in the error register is set to 1 and the Maestro sends all

of its servos and digital outputs to their home positions, as specified in the Settings tab (Section 4.b).

Any servos or outputs that are configured to be in the “Ignore” mode will not be changed. The error

The errors and their corresponding bit numbers are listed below:

• Serial signal error (bit 0)

A hardware-level error that occurs when a byte’s stop bit is not detected at the expected

place. This can occur if you are communicating at a baud rate that differs from the Maestro’s

baud rate.

• Serial overrun error (bit 1)
