# Peripherals Tab

Skykit Control allows you to connect to a peripheral device such as a TV that is connected to your Android device via a USB interface. When the device is connected, you can send commands to it remotely.

Open the **Peripherals** tab to see information about any peripherals connected to the device. You can also add a new peripheral from this tab.

For each peripheral device you see the following information:

- Connection status
- Vendor ID
- Baud Rate
- Stop Bit
- Flow Control
- Parity

To edit peripheral information, select the pencil icon. To delete the peripheral from the list, select the trash icon.

## **Adding a Peripheral**

To add a peripheral, you'll need to have the following information about the device. You should be able to find these values in the documentation that comes with the device.

- vendor ID
- baud rate
- parity
- flow control
- stop bit

1. In the **Peripherals** tab, select **+Add Peripheral**. A details window opens.

2. Enter the name of the peripheral in the **Name** field.
3. In the **Vendor ID** field, enter the ID of the vendor providing the device.
4. Enter **Baud Rate**, **Parity**, **Flow Control**, and **Stop Bit** values in the appropriate fields.
5. Select **Submit** to close the window and return to the **Peripherals** tab. After the peripheral is connected, it will be listed in the window.  
  
The information you enter allows the device to detect the peripheral and connect to it.

## **Sending a Command**

Once the peripheral device is connected to your Android device, you can send supported commands to it through Skykit Control.

**Note**: The peripheral must be connected when you send the command.

1. In the **Peripherals** tab, select **+Send Command**. The **Send Command** window opens.
