Connecting the BM71-XPro to MBD App in Manual Mode (Host PC)
Hardware/Software required:
• BM71-XPro board; Mini-USB cable.
• A PC host supporting USB CDC virtual serial port. BM71-XPro board uses MCP2200 USB to UART bridge. The
drivers can be downloaded from
http://www.microchip.com/MCP2200
.
• BM71 emulator tools: UI Tool and Manual pattern tool. These tools can be download from the
• Microchip MBD app for iOS or Android. Available in:
–
(IOS) for iPhones
–
for Android devices
To configure the module to operate in Manual mode, follow the procedure described in the
Module to Operate in Manual Mode (Host PC)
. The procedure to connect to a peer device (phone/tablet) in Manual
mode is given below:
1.
Ensure that the BM71-XPro board is configured as follows:
1.1.
Middle jumper on J2 is closed to select USB power option.
1.2.
The current measurement jumper on J3 is present.
1.3.
Switch 1 (system configuration) on the DIP switch is set to OFF.
1.4.
Switch 2 (blue LED power) on the DIP switch is set to ON.
2.
Connect the BM71-XPro board to the host PC using the mini-USB cable. Ensure that green LED (LD1) is solid
ON indicating USB power.
3.
Connect BM71-XPro to the host PC using micro-USB cable. Verify the virtual COM port is enumerated on host
PC. If the COM port does not enumerate, the MCP2200 drivers may be missing from the host PC. If needed,
the drivers can be downloaded from the
http://www.microchip.com/MCP2200
webpage.
4.
Press the Reset button (SW1) and verify that the blue LED (LD4) is flashing intermittently.
5.
Open the manual pattern tool. Select the enumerated COM port for the BM71-XPro board in the COM port
