  • Page 2 E510 User Manual OVERVIEW This kit is designed for evaluation and development of QT510-based QWheel™ Rotary slider. It includes a fully assembled rotary slider evaluation board, user panel, cables and software. The E510 has a serial interface allowing connection to a PC for control and data viewing via an included USB to SPI adapter and PC software.
  • Page 3: Board Preparation

    BOARD PREPARATION The E510 eval board can be adhered to plastic, glass, or any other dielectric panel. If you wish to use the supplied user panel, please follow the steps below: Use normal ESD precautions when working with the E510!! Place the user panel face down on a table- Tape down the edges of the panel so it cannot move while you work with it.
  • Page 4 RUNNING THE E510 To Run the E510, Please Follow These Steps: 1 IMPORTANT: First install QSlide™ software and USB drivers (see page 10). Make sure the USB adapter box is NOT plugged into your PC at this time. Connect the E510 to the USB box with the red USB-SPI cable Connect the USB adapter to your running PC and wait at least 10 seconds for the USB adaptor to be recognized.

    BOARD DETAILS SPI Interface Connector This connector provides all signals and power needed to communicate with the USB adapter or an external host such as a microcontroller. If you wish to connect the E510 to a microcontroller and operate the QT510 in sleep mode you will need to provide in your interface circuit a 1nF capacitor between PROX (CON1 pin 9) and GND, and a 22k Resistor between DRDY (CON1 pin 4) and GND.
