async MicroSpinBackend.send_command(command: str, *, timeout: float | None = None) → List[str]

Send a single command and return any data lines emitted by the device.

Parameters:

• command (str) – The full command line without CR/LF.

• timeout (float | None) – Override the default per-command timeout (seconds).

• MicroSpinProtocolError – If the ACK or terminator cannot be parsed.

• asyncio.TimeoutError – If the timeout elapses.

Return type:
