| - | Used to change the maximum voltage above which the Scout will stop the motors. Defaults to 16 volts and in fact 16 volts is the absolute maximum on all board revisions up to 11 (later designs may increase this, the VNH5019 driver chips can handle up to 24 volts but other components on the current board design are capped at 16). Values are not saved on reboot, so must be set with each power cycle. The data byte that follows this command must specify the desired voltage level in 0.2 volt increments. The function for converting desired volts to data byte is: | + | Used to change the maximum voltage above which the Scout will stop the motors.
