External Power Supply (Optional)
The base station is delivered to operate with USB power supply (0-Ω resistor R34 is assembled). For
longer read range, an external supply can be used. The steps to change to external power supply are:
1. Remove the 0-Ω resistor from R34 position.
2. Solder the same resistor on position R35.
3. Use external power supply of 9 V to 15 V at 1 A.
4. Use a DC power plug pin with a 2.5-mm diameter (RS Order No. 486-634 or 455-097) (see
6.1.2
Base Station USB Driver Installation
1. Install the RFID demo software by running RFID Demo Software-1.0-Setup.exe on the PC. This also
installs the device driver for the base station and the eZ430 USB debugging interface (see
2. Plug the base station into the USB port.
3. Windows recognizes the new hardware as Texas Instruments MSP-FET430UIF (see
Windows should automatically install the drivers for the MSP-FET430UIF as an HID tool.
4. Windows recognizes another new hardware driver to be installed called MSP430 Application UART
(see
Figure
7).
