SD Card Access

Select SD Card Access to access a microSD card placed in the SD card reader at the top of the board. If

no SD card is present, a warning screen is displayed. When an SD card is present, the screen displays a

list of the contents of the card. Directories are denoted by "

<d>". Use the wheel to scroll through the list

and select files or directories to open by pressing S1. When a file is open, use the wheel to scroll further

through the file. Press S2 to close the current file or directory.

Press S2 while in the root directory to return to the main menu.

Settings Menu

Select Settings to modify the display settings for the Experimenter Board. Use the wheel to select the

setting to modify and press S1 to enter.

Press S2 to return to the main menu.

Contrast: Modify the contrast of the LCD by turning the wheel. When first entering the menu, the contrast

remains unchanged for a few seconds to allow the user to read the instructions and then changes to the

setting for the current position of the wheel.

After the contrast is set at the desired level, press S2 to return to the Settings sub-menu.

Backlight: Modify the brightness of the backlight by turning the wheel. There are 12 brightness settings,

from having the backlight turned off up to full brightness.

After the backlight is set at the desired level, press S2 to return to the Settings sub-menu.

Calibrate Accel: Sets the "default" position for the accelerometer. An instruction screen is shown first. For

best results, set the board on a flat surface. Press S1 to start calibrations. The accelerometer readings at

that point in time are stored to flash and are subtracted from the subsequent accelerometer readings of

other applications like USB Mouse and USB Tilt Puzzle.

SW Version: Displays the current version of the firmware loaded on the Experimenter Board.

LEDs

& Logo: Lights all the LEDs on the board. There are one red, one yellow, one green, and five blue

LEDs on the capacitive touch pads. This provides a method to determine whether or not all the LEDs are

in working condition.

The screen also displays the TI Bug and a USB Flash Drive logo on the screen.
