Initial Setup

There are several boards that are included with the Basic Evaluation Kit and the Master Development System. The Basic Evaluation Kit includes two Carrier Boards and two Remote Control Demo Boards. The Master Development System includes these boards but also adds two Programming Docks and two Prototype Boards.

The Carrier Boards have a TT Series transceiver on a daughter 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 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 the remote control functionality of the TT Series. They can also be 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.

The Programming Docks 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.

The Prototype Boards 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.
! Warning Installing or removing a Carrier Board while power is
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

Using the Programming Dock

Snap a Carrier Board onto the socket on the Programming Dock as shown in Figure
