Quick Start Guide
Step-by-Step Installation Instructions
In this quick start guide, you will learn how to set up the TWR-KL46Z48M module and run
the included demonstrated software. For more detailed information, review the user manual
at freescale.com/TWR-KL46Z48M.
Install Software and Tools
Install the OpenSDA Tower Toolkit
to install the OpenSDA and USB-
to-Serial drivers.
Configure the Hardware
Connect one end of the USB cable
to the PC and the other end to the
Power/OpenSDA mini-B connector
on the TWR-KL46Z48M module.
Allow the PC to automatically
configure the USB drivers if needed.
Segment LCD
All segments are turned on for
three seconds, then potentiometer
readings are displayed.
Touch Electrodes
When board is picked up, the four
LEDs will toggle in the direction of
the inclination. Toggling frequency will
increase as the tilt angle increases.
Move the Potentiometer
The TWRPI-SLCD shows the
ADC reading.
