Incorrect orientation of TTL-232R-3V3 FTDI cable will damage the RF module.
The next step is to connect the evaluation board to the PC using the TTL-232R-3V3 FT-
DI cable. In that way a COM port can be detected and installed on the PC. In the device
manager the COM port name of the TTL-232R-3V3 FTDI cable can be found. A COM port
shall appear for example: "COM12" in Windows systems or "/dev/ttyUSB0" in Linux systems.
The WE-SmartCommander [4] or any other serial terminal program (like hterm for Windows)
has to be run and the corresponding COM port has to be opened using the default settings
of the mounted radio module.
When
taking
the
Setebos-I
module
into
operation
with
the
WE-
SmartCommander, either the Proteus-III or the Thyone-I module has to
be selected on the graphical interface, depending on the mode defined
through the logic level of the RPS pin.
After the module is powered through the TTL-232R-3V3 FTDI cable or an alternative power
supply, the reset button should be pressed to ensure a clean start-up of the module.
The detailed module specific quick start instructions can be found in the corresponding user
manuals [3] [2] [5].
2.2 Taking into operation - Host controller
To take the mini evaluation board into operation using a host controller, additional assembly
as described in the chapter
is necessary.
An external power supply shall be connected to the evaluation board. The power supply op-
tion 3 or 4 from the table
shall be used. It is important that the VDD is stable and able to
reliably supply the module’s static and peak current consumption as specified by the module
manual.
The next step is to connect the communication lines of the module to the host controller. The
headers P1, P2 and P3 can be used to connect the module pins and host.
For Setebos-I, the pin B1 on connector P2 assumes the function RPS (Radio Protocol Selec-
tion): the logic level on this pin shall be used to determine whether the module should boot
the Proprietary firmware (and work as a Thyone-I module) or the Bluetooth Low Energy 5.1
firmware (and work as a Proteus-III module). Please refer to chapter
for further details.
The detailed module specific quick start instructions can be found in the corresponding user
manuals [3] [2] [5] .
