µISP User's Manual Interfacing with your Test/Programming Equipment µISP can be controlled in three ways: • By manually sending commands and receiving answers, using the Project Generator Terminal or any other terminal application; • By configuring the instrument so that it can work in standalone, that is without a connection to a PC;...
µISP User's Manual Standalone Mode (low-level interface) Overview µISP can work with no connection to a PC (standalone mode). In standalone mode, the instrument is controlled through a low-level connection interface (CONTROL connector). With this simple interface it is possible to start a project (START) and check the result (OK/ERR).
µISP User's Manual Power Supply and Modules Power Supply µISP can be powered in two ways: • Through a 5V power supply connected to a USB (5V) connector. • Dedicated lines in the “CONTROL” connector. If the BUP (board under programming) is powered through the µISP at voltage greater then 5V, we suggest to use the AC/DC power adapter to power the programmer in order to avoid to exceed the maximum USB current limit (500mA)
