2 Quick start guide
Use this to set up the C211 anchor and C209 tags included in the XPLR-AOA kits.
2.1 C211 anchor setup
Use the following procedure to set up the C211 anchor boards.
1. Connect the anchor to your computer using a USB-A to Micro-B cable. Drivers for the onboard FTDI
USB-to-UART converter are normally installed automatically, but otherwise download and install
these directly from the FTDI website
[20] . The serial port is visible in the device manager when it
is successfully installed.
2. Flash the u-connectLocate software using the bundled (Windows only)
newtmgr
executable or
s-center [7] . Alternatively, use the Newt Manager Guide [10] to install the
newtmgr
application tool
for MAC OS, Linux, and Windows. See also Flashing .
3. Start a terminal emulator (Tera Term or similar) and open the port with the settings described in
Configuring the board .
4. Restart the board using the Reset button. A
+STARTUP
event is shown in your terminal emulator
when the board is ready to accept AT commands and deliver direction finding angle calculation
events. See also
Error! Reference source not found. .
2.2 C209 tag set up
Use the following procedure to set up the C209 tags.
1.
Connect the anchor to your computer using a USB-A to Micro-B cable. Drivers for the onboard FTDI
USB-to-UART converter are normally installed automatically, but otherwise download and install
these directly from the FTDI website
[20] . The serial port is visible in the device manager when it
is successfully installed.
2. Flash the C209 tag software available from the C209 GitHub repo [13] using command line tools
or s-center [7 ], as described in Software and flashing . After the tag is flashed, the LED on the C209
tag blinks blue rapidly to show that the tag is now sending direction-finding enabled
advertisements. You should now see angle calculation events over the UART of the C211.
3. You can now switch to power the C209 tag using a CR2032 battery (not included).
2.3 Wireless anchor-to-host setup
To set up wireless communication from the C211 anchor to a host, see EVK-ODIN-W2 wireless
gateway configuration . The setup requires one EVK-ODIN-W2 per C211 anchor node.
