Models with a published protocol

Twenty-two models have a published UART protocol and a page here: 13 in family A and 9 in family B. Every number on these pages comes from the ERDI datasheet for that model. The other models are listed on Models with protocol on request.

:::tip Which family? Family A modules answer 8-byte 55 AA commands at 115200 baud (you poll them). Family B modules stream 5C frames at 460800 baud on their own. The unit of the distance field depends on the model, not the family: see Units and out-of-range. :::

Wire unit for family A is metres multiplied by 10; the table shows the unit of the physical value (m).
