Robot Terminal Control Codes?

This one will move the cursor to any point on the 60 row by 80 column terminal window. 1;1 being the top left corner and 60;80 being the bottom right corner.

Code:: Send the ASCII code for SOH, 2 Send the ASCII code for ESC, 27 Send the ASCII code for '[', 91 Send the ASCII code for '1', 49 Send the ASCII code for ';', 59 Send the ASCII code for '1', 49 Send the ASCII code for 'f', 102

Code:: printf("%c%c[1;1f", 2, 27); printf("%c%c[%d;%df", 2, 27, row, column);

The way the CM5 clears the screen is to send 60 line feeds in a row followed by either your home command or the command above.

Robot Terminal Control Codes?

Does anyone know what kind of terminal the Robot Terminal emulates, if any? I'd like to be able to send escape codes from my CM-5 firmware to clear the screen and move the cursor around, just like the Bioloid motion editor firmware can do.

I've found that the VT52 "Esc H" sequence does make the cursor jump to home (top-left corner), but the VT52 "Esc J" sequence to clear the screen has no effect. ANSI/VT100 code sequences don't seem to work either.

Any clues?
