Serial Commands
These serial commands are known, and can be sent on the KISS serial channel or over Bluetooth. They use a variation of the ancient Hayes Modem protocol. To send a serial command, first send the carriage-return character (control-M on many terminals). Then send the entire command, followed by another carriage-return. You should see an “OK” reply on the serial interface. You must restart the AVRT5 to see the effect of your command. Source : https://perens.com/avrt5/advanced/
