7. Variable reference

The Tic maintains a set of variables that contain real-time information about its inputs, outputs,

and state, and these variables, in conjunction with the user settings, determine the behavior of the

controller. Some of these variables are displayed under the Status tab of the Tic Control Center. Some

of the variables can be shown by running the Tic Command-line Utility (ticcmd) with the -s or --

status option, and all the variables are shown if you additionally use the --full option (e.g. ticcmd

--status --full ). All variables can also be read via the TTL serial, I²C, and USB interfaces (see

the “get variable [https://www.pololu.com/docs/0J71/8#cmd-get-variable]” command in Section 8) for use by

custom control programs, and our Tic library for Arduino includes functions that make it easy to read

each variable.
