2 Functional description
The evaluation board offers the user the possibility to develop hard- and software for the com-
patible radio module. It can be connected to an USB port of a PC.
For the connection to a micro controller system the development board is equipped with a
multi-pin connector which is connected to all pins of the RF module. Jumpers allow the module
to be disconnected from components such as the USB interface which are not required.
Feel free to check our youtube channel:
www.youtube.com/user/WuerthElektronik/videos
for video tutorials, hands-ons and webinars relating to our products.
2.1 Taking into operation
To run the evaluation board place the jumpers on default location as shown in figure
3
.
The corresponding FTDI driver package (www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm) has to be in-
stalled on your PC.
Connect the power jack or external power supply to the EV board and make sure the VDD is
stable and able to reliably supply the module’s static and peak current consumption as speci-
fied by the module manual.
The next step is to connect the evaluation board to the PC using a USB-cable. In that way a
COM port can be detected and installed on your PC. Check the device manager to acquire the
COM port name of the EV board. A typical name is "COM12" in Windows systems or "/dev/t-
tyUSB0" in Linux systems.
The WE-SmartCommander or any other serial terminal program (like hterm for Windows) has
to be run and the corresponding COM port has to be opened using the default settings of the
mounted radio module. After the module is powered through the USB jack or an alternative
power supply, the reset button should be pressed to ensure a clean start-up of the module.
Please refer to the module user manual to get the detailed module specific quick start instruc-
tions.

Inner RF signal
Outer GND
The board supports 50 Ωconnection by just soldering/unsoldering one component to use either
module’s internal PCB antenna or to connect an external antenna.
In order to use the external antenna for long range tests, Capacitor C6 has
to be populated with a 22pF capacitor 885012005027 and C28 should be left
unpopulated.
Figure 5: Capacitor connection to external antenna
In order to use the internal PCB antenna of the module, C28 has to be popu-
lated with a 22pF capacitor 885012005027 and C6 should be left unpopulated.
3.3.5 CON5
Connector CON5 is used to connect the WE Sensor evaluation boards. This feature is sub-
jected to a customized firmware and not supported by default firmware.
