Connecting to the VN-200 

When  first  working  with  the  VN-200,  we  recommend  connecting  the 
sensor to a PC running our Control Center GUI to gain familiarity with the 
available configuration options and features. 
 
1.

 

Attach the USB or Serial Adapter Cable to the VN-200 using the cable 
tool provided in the Development Kit. For the VN-200 Development 
Board,  you  can  connect  and  power  the  sensor  through  USB1  (J2 
connector) or alternatively use the USB2 (J3) for power and the DB-9 
(J4) for communication.  
 

 

 

2.

 

Connect  to  the  VN-200  by  selecting  the  correct  COM  port  and 
baudrate and clicking on the Connect button. The default baudrate 
for the VN-200 is 115200.  
 

 

The VN-200 can pull up to 100mA of current when the GNSS 
antenna is connected. Ensure USB port compatibility prior to use.
