 Flash the code onto the Arduino, connect A&B of the smart cable connected to the controller(aka the black and red wires respectively) to the Max485.
 
-Viewing the USB serial of the Arduino, send 0xAB-like hex sequences to update the configured state.
+Viewing the USB serial of the Arduino, send 0xAB01234567-like hex sequences to update the configured state to 0xAB and the timer to 0x01234567. Note that 0xC9 should be sent with the timer before starting a state.
