Initial Setup

There are several boards that are included with the Development System.

board with headers. These boards snap into sockets on the other boards,

enabling the modules to be easily moved among the test boards.

There are two Programming Docks that have a socket for a Carrier

Board and a USB interface for connection to a PC. This is used with the

demonstration software included with the kit to configure the module

through its Command Data Interface.

There are two Remote Control Demo Boards that are populated differently.

Board A has the buttons on the right column and board B has them on the

left column. These accept the Carrier Boards and are used to demonstrate

used for range testing. These boards use hardware configuration, so if any

changes have been made to the modules using the software then they

may not operate correctly. A restore to default configuration can be used to

reset the modules.

There are two Prototype Boards that have a socket for a Carrier Board, a

USB interface and a large area of plated through holes that can be used to

develop custom circuitry. The board can be powered either from the USB

connection or an external battery.

The development software supports Windows 7 and 10; with Java 1.6 or

later.

applied could cause permanent damage to the module. Either turn

off power to the board or unplug the USB cable before installing or

removing a Carrier Board
