The Demo will display updated data on the Remote in the Radio 1 column, including bar graphs of RSSI
signal strength in dBm and percent packet success rate, as shown in Figure 5.6.1.4. Adjusting the large
pot on the Remote can be observed on the Potentiometer (ADC1) row.

To perform serial data loop back testing with the kit, move the two jumpers on the Remote board labeled
Ext_TX and Ext_RX to connect the center and right header pins. This disconnects the module's TX and
RX pins from the USB and RS-232C circuits. Use a banana clip or other short jumper to connect together
the two pins on the header labeled J11 (Ext_MICRO). See Figure 5.6.1.5. Attempting loop back testing by
connecting Pins 2 and 3 of the DB9 serial connector can cause erratic behavior due to noise coupling
from the serial TX and RX lines into the weakly pulled up flow control lines on the board.
