3. The board can be connected to the host PC via the USB port using a USB 2.0
A/Mini-B cable. USB is a familiar connection option. Furthermore, it provides a
convenient way to link multiple boards to a single PC, and no battery is required
once a board is powered via USB.
4. Alternatively, the board can be connected to the host PC via the serial port using
a serial cable. Please note that the logical USB and serial (RS-232) ports share
the same physical port on the board, and, thus, cannot be used at the same time.
Keep in mind that the connection mode is controlled by setting a jumper on a
MeshBean board. Refer to Section
for the description of connectors and
jumpers on MeshBean boards.
5. If you plan to use a USB connection, install the USB-to-UART Bridge VCP driver.
To install the driver, please do the following:
a. Download the driver from
https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCP
b. Attach the MeshBean board to the USB port of your PC. Windows
should detect the new hardware. Follow the instructions provided by
the driver installation wizard.
c. Make sure that the driver is installed successfully and the new COM
port is present in the device list. Check that the device is correctly
shown in the Device Manager window, as in
Figure 8-1.
Correctly installed COM port for MeshBean device.
