This guide will show you how to use the USB-C connector on our Veridian Cruise modules. The connector allows you to do real time diagnostics and diagnose problems on installation. 

You will need:

• Android Phone, Tablet OR laptop of any make. iOS not supported due to a lack of serial terminal.
• USB Serial terminal app. I like this app but there are many options. For windows user there is PUTTY or TeraTerm.
• USB-C cable

Steps to connect:

1. Install serial app
2. Remove dust cover on control module
3. Turn bike ignition on
4. Connect device

Android Serial Term

For user with the Serial USB Terminal Android App ensure you click the connect button on the top bar

To diagnose a faulty cruise control you can enable the debug message by sending debug command.

__

PUTTY for Windows

Use the windows device manager to find the COM port Number. Here we can see the COM port is #9

Then we need to configure PUTTY as follows

Connection Type: Serial

Host Name: COM port from above. “COM9” in this case.

Lastly we also need to enable Local Echo under Terminal settings.

Click Open, type commands and enter to send.

Debug errors

For debugging the following codes will be output

RPM – RPM is below the minimum required for cruise

Speed – Speed is below the minimum required for cruise

Gear – Cruise is only enabled for gears above 1

Brake – Brake lever is being pressed

Clutch – Clutch lever is being pressed

Messages about CANBUS or CAN Age would indicator a faulty module or disconnect diagnostic connector.
