Plugin Configuration

The plugin configuration file is GameData/KerbalSimpit/PluginData/Settings.cfg. It contains general plugin configuration, and one or more SerialPort nodes for serial port configuration.

Plugin settings

• Documentation: This parameter is hard-coded by the plugin, and will revert to the internal default on every run. It's value is a URL for plugin configuration documentation. Congrats, you found it!
• Verbose: Required, defaults to false. Set to True to log... quite a bit more info from the plugin. Very useful for debugging.
• RefreshRate: Required, defaults to 80ms. A time interval, measured in milliseconds. Data providers that send updates on a regular basis will use this interval for sending them. (internally, the plugin uses a time slice RefreshRate milliseconds long, and evenly spaces providers through it)

Serial settings

A SerialPort node defines a serial connection. Each device needs its own SerialPort node to establish a connection with the plugin. All parameters in the SerialPort node are required.

SerialPort
{
    PortName = COM1
    BaudRate = 115200
}

• PortName: The name of the serial port. On Windows machines, the SerialPort will be of the form COMn. For Linux and MacOS, the full path to the device file is required, for example /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/tty.usbmodem1411.
• BaudRate: The serial port baud rate. The device must be using the same rate in its Serial.begin() call.
