Connect sensor to the Sensor 1
position. You can connect the
sensor directly to the socket on the
board or use one of the supplied
extension ribbon cables.
NOTE: One sensor must be
connected to the Sensor 1 position
for the ezPyro to work correctly.
Populate the backplane board with up to 4 sensors (sensors not supplied with Pyreos backplane board)
2 sensors 3 sensors 4 sensors

Add further sensors in numerical
order. For example, if you want to
use two sensors ensure they are
placed in positions 1 and 2.

Insert the USB cable into a suitable port on your PC, and
connect the other end into the STM32nucleo board.
Check that the following LEDs are illuminated.
On the STM32nucleo card:
ŸLD1 (red) next to USB socket
ŸLD2 (red) next to Reset button
ŸLD3 (green) next to Reset button
On the sensor side of the backplane board:
ŸRunning LED (red - flashing)
ŸReady LED (green - only lit when sensor(s)
connected)
ŸPower LED (amber)
If this is not the case, check that the
STM32nucleo board and sensors are correctly
seated and that the USB cable is connected to a
powered socket.
Open the ezPyro Evaluation
Tool from the Start menu of the
connected computer.
Select COMxx : Pyreos Generic ezPyro firmware vX.xx from
the dropdown list (where x = comport number and the
firmware version number, these values may change).
If no device is shown, check all connections and then select
Rescan Ports.
Move your hand across the sensors and observe deflections in the
traces on the screen.
If a sensor is unresponsive, unplug it from the backplane board and
then reattach, double-checking pin alignment and orientation. Restart
the ezPyro Evaluation Tool. For more details see full user guide.
