Nexmosphere XN-115 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.
XN-115
The XN-115 is an Xperience controller with 1 X-talk interface:
1. X-talk interface 001
USB. 5V Power input and API interface (micro-USB connector)
LED. White status LED
Hardware setup
1. Connect an Element to the X-talk interface.
2. Connect the micro-USB cable to a 3rd party device (e.g. Digital Signage Player or PC).
3. Wait until the white status LED stops blinking. This lasts about 5 seconds.
Software setup for testing (Terminal)
Typically, the XN-115 controller is connected to a 3rd party device, such as a Digital Signage Player, on which CMS software is installed which 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 XN-115 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 XN-115 controller, place a 50mS delay between each command.
*In case the XN-115 controller is not recognized as a COM port by the 3rd party device, a driver (Prolic PL2303) can be downloaded here.
Functionality
The XN-115 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 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 XN-115 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.
