Operating modes for the Evaluation Kit
Following two operation modes are possible:
Independent Mode:
1. On-board microcontroller is used to read-out and process the sensor data. Direct
USB / Bluetooth Low Energy connection is available.
Arduino Shield Mode:
2.
Any 3.3V Arduino board (e.g. Arduino DUE) can be used as mother board to read out
Grid-EYE and send data via USB and Bluetooth.
For both modes, Windows LabVIEW Demonstration software is available. Other multi-
platform software examples, such as Grid-EYE API and Python source code, can also be
found on Panasonic Website

WARNING
The jumper shunt for the pin-header designated J18 must not be placed on the
pin-header prior to using the board, unless the intent is to access the
Bootloader. By default this jumper is removed from the J18 header and placed
inside the box separately for later use.
The Grid-EYE board has Arduino headers soldered on for convenience, should
the user choose to host the board onto an Arduino (DUE) mother board. Users
are reminded to be careful so not short-out the pins or have the board resting
on a conductive surface.
