Chapter 5 – Configuration via USB
5.1 USB Interface
The 5 pin connector X1 can be used to establish a connection with a PC. The PC
needs to have a USB interface.
Figure 6
Connection example: USB connection with a PC
The USB chip in the Gyro is addressed as a virtual serial interface (virtual COM Port).
Thus devices with USB interfaces can be configured using the same terminal pro
-
grams (see below) that are used for RS 232 connections. Usually the virtual COM
Port driver is installed automatically in current versions of Microsoft® Windows®.
If the Gyro is not automatically detected as a virtual COM port after establishing the
connection the STM32 Virtual COM Port Driver (STSW-STM32102) has to be in
-
stalled manually. The driver may be downloaded from the following address:

NOTICE
Damage to the gyro or other devices connected via USB
The USB interface does not have a leading ground contact. Plugging or
unplugging USB connectors while the voltage supply is connected can cause
voltage spikes that will damage devices connected via USB.
Always disconnect the gyro from the voltage supply before plugging or
unplugging USB connectors. This applies, for example, to the USB connector
on the computer and connector X1 on the gyro.
Götting offers the optional
connection box M12-5-8-USB
HG G-20960 that can be
used to interconnect the Gyro and the PC. The box allows to connect the gyro
using standard M12 cable.
