Nexmosphere XC-760 User manual

Xperience platform
All of Nexmosphere’s controllers are built on the same platform principles. If this is your rst time using a Nexmosphere
controller, we recommend to rst read https://nexmosphere.com/technology/xperience-platform/ to learn the basics about
our platform and its terminology.
XC-760
The XC-760 is an Xperience controller with 6 X-Wave interfaces and
4 X-talk interfaces:
1. X-talk interface 001 5. X-Wave interface, API address 005
2. X-talk interface 002 6. X-Wave interface, API address 006
3. X-talk interface 003
4. X-talk interface 004
111. X-Wave interface, API address 111
112. X-Wave interface, API address 112
113. X-Wave interface, API address 113
114. X-Wave interface, API address 114
USB. API interface (micro-USB connector)
LED. White status LED
DC. 12-24VDC Power input (2.1mm DC socket)
Hardware setup
1. Connect one or more Elements to any of the 4 X-talk interfaces.
2. Connect one or more Pixel LED strips to any of the 6 X-Wave interfaces*.
3. Connect the 12 or 24VDC power supply to the DC power input connector.
4. Connect the micro-USB cable to a 3rd party device (e.g. Digital Signage Player or PC).
5. Wait until the white status LED stops blinking. This lasts about 5 seconds.
*Pixel LED strips including connection cable are available as an accessory (product codes L-P......W). If you want to connect your own Pixel LED strips, separate
connection cables are also available as an accessory (product codes CAW-S..C).
Software setup for testing (Terminal)
Typically, the XC-760 controller is connected to a 3rd party device, such as a Digital Signage Player, on which CMS software is installed that has built-in
functionality for sending and receiving Serial Events. However, if you want to do a rst test on a PC or Mac, follow the instructions below:
1. Download a terminal program. For example Termite or Hercules.
2. Open the Terminal program and go to settings. Choose the COM port on which the XC-760 controller enumerated*.
In most cases this is the highest available number in the COM port drop-down setting.
3. Set the COM port settings to the following values
Baudrate 115200 Flow Control None
Parity None EOL CR+LF
Data Bits 8 Protocol ASCII
Stop Bits 1
4. Set the COM port to “Open”. The controller is now ready for use.
5. When sending consecutive API serial commands to the XC-760 controller, place a 50mS delay between each command.
*In case the XC-760 controller is not recognized as a COM port by the 3rd party device, a driver (Prolic PL2303) can be downloaded here.

Functionality
The XC-760 runs our API which provides serial output when a specic sensor Element is triggered (for example a pick-up,
or -motion sensor or touch button) and provides control over output Elements (for example controlling Pixel LED strips) via
serial input commands. These API serial commands are typically used to create interactive Xperiences for Digital Signage.
The complete API Manual and additional helpful documents can be found on https://nexmosphere.com/support-
documentation. To get you started, we’ve included some starter examples of our Elements and the corresponding API serial
commands on the following pages.
3rd party devices and software
This Quick Start Guide oers a generic explanation of the setup and operation of the XC-760 Xperience controller. It does
not cover information on how to integrate the Controllers, Elements and their API triggers in specic 3rd party devices or
software. We have manuals available with step-by-step instructions on how to integrate Nexmosphere products with the
products of our hardware, -and software partners. You’ll nd these on the support and partner pages of our website.

To control a PixelLED strip connected to X-Wave interface 005, 006, 111, 112, 113 or 114, send one of the following API
example commands from the 3rd party device to the XC-760 controller:
Set the LED strip connected to X-Wave interface 005 to color 5 (default purple*) at 80% brightness with 0.5 seconds ramp
*An overview of the default X-Wave colors is provided on the nal page of this document.
Set the LED strip connected to X-Wave interface 006 to color 0 (default white*) at 00% brightness with 0.3 seconds ramp
Set the LED strip connected X-Wave interface 111 to pulse between two states. State 1: Color C (default sky blue*) at 99%
(max) with 1.2 seconds ramp time. Ramp 2: Color C (default sky blue*) at 20% with 1.2 seconds ramp time.
Set the LED strip connected to X-Wave interface 114 to a sinewave animation between two states over 48 LEDs. State 1:
Color 0 (default white*) at 99% (max) with 1.8 seconds ramp time. Ramp 2: Color 0 (default white*) at 23% with 1.2 seconds
For more information on controlling Pixel LEDs via X-Wave interfaces, please refer to the document “Manual | Controlling
X-Wave LEDs (API)”.

Combining Elements
The XC-760 Xperience controller has 6 X-Wave interfaces and 4 X-talk interfaces to which any combination of Elements
can be connected. For example, all examples in this Quick Start Guide can be combined on a single XC-760. The API
commands and operation will remain the same. When connecting multiple Elements that require a high amount of current
(LEDs or push buttons with LED ring), calculate the total required current of the Elements and check if this is within the
specication of the controller and its power supply source.
