-The Serial 2 port is dedicated to communication with serial motor controllers. It has its own 2-pin JST-PH header on the TCB board. It can only transmit serial data, it can not read serial input. Only two baud rates can be selected, 19200 and 38400. The default is 38400 and unless you have a specific reason to change it you should leave it at the default. This rate is known to work well with the Dimension Engineering and Pololu dual motor controllers.+The Serial 2 port is dedicated to communication with serial motor controllers.

The default baud rate is 38400 and unless you have a specific reason to change it you should leave it at 38400. Not all rates are compatible with all devices, but 38400 is known to work well with all. In general slower rates typically perform worst, but some controllers (such as the popular Sabertooth 2x5) are not compatible with the highest rate of 115200. Again, almost all users will be best served by leaving the rate at 38400.

 Debugging is very useful for troubleshooting and is enabled by default. However if your TCB is running as expected and all functionality has been verified, you may want to disable debugging messages because they do slow down program operation. The effect is unlikely to be noticeable, but if you are not using the debug feature anyway, go ahead and turn it off. Debugging is very useful for troubleshooting and is enabled by default.

 +{{ wiki:configurescout.png?nolink|Configure Scout Current Limit}}
 +Here you can adjust the maximum current limit of any Scout ESC attached to your TCB. By default the Scout will stop the motors when current draw exceeds 12 amps total for both motors, since this is the Scout's limit for continuous operation without additional cooling. However the Scout can theoretically operate at up to 30 amps with sufficient heatsinking and cooling. Or you might wish to restrict the current limit to an even lower number in order to protect the drive-train on your model, if you already know the stall current of your motors. Set your desired maximum current here, and the TCB will instruct the Scout not to exceed that level.
