Functional Overview
The WiMOD Demo Board provides several functional units and can be used to demonstrate
and evaluate the different WiMOD radio modules. The desired radio module must be soldered
on its specific Adapter Board (see chapter 4) which can be plugged on the Demo Board.
All functional units of the Demo Board are shown in Figure 2-1. These are the power supply unit
(via USB or battery), the user interfaces (USB, led, button, buzzer, potentiometer, sensor), the
expansion header (RM connector) for the Adapter Board, and the I/O connectors. The Demo
Board user interfaces and most pins of the attached radio module are made available via the
I/O connectors. Therefore it is possible to connect the radio module to the user interface by
using jumpers or connecting cables. Furthermore it is possible to connect
external target boards,
sensors or test equipment to these connectors.
