Development Kit (SDK) that includes a broad selection of drivers, libraries, and example applications that can be used for rapid prototyping. USB-ANNA-B4 USB evaluation sticks include an FTDI chip that converts USB data to UART data for module communication and require download of the FTDI driver. USB sticks integrating ANNA-B412 u-connectXpress module variants are preferably controlled using s-center evaluation software [7].
1.2 USB-ANNA-B4 block diagram Figure 2 shows the major interfaces and internal connections supported on the USB-ANNA-B4. Figure 2: USB-ANNA-B4 block diagram 1.3 Connectors Table 1 describes the available connectors of the USB-ANNA-B4, as shown in Figure Connector Function Description...
1. Before connecting the USB board, download and install the latest u-blox s-center evaluation software from the u-blox website (required for USB-ANNA-B412 only) 2. Plug in USB-ANNA-B4 to the USB host. The operating system installs the correct drivers automatically. The drivers need only be installed once when you connect the unit to a new computer.
2.2.1.1 s-center evaluation software s-center is convenient to use together with ANNA-B412 when running the AT commands supported in u-connectXpress. It also includes predefined functions. Install s-center evaluation software set the baud rate to 115200 with 8N1 configuration and flow control. All available AT commands are described in the u-connectXpress AT commands manual [3].
A serial COM port is available if the USB board is connected to a PC using the USB connector J1. 3.3 I2C temperature sensor USB-ANNA-B4 has an LM75B temperature sensor mounted on the PCB. This sensor measures the environmental temperature and can be addressed using the I2C address 0x48.
