Nexmosphere XN-115 Quick Start Manual

Xperience platform

All of Nexmosphere's controllers are built on the same platform principles. If this is your first time using a Nexmosphere
controller, we recommend to first read
our platform and its terminology.
XN-115
The XN-115 is an Xperience controller with 1 X-talk interface:
1. X-talk interface 001
USB. 5V Power input and API interface (micro-USB connector)
LED. White status LED

Hardware setup

1. Connect an Element to the X-talk interface.
2. Connect the micro-USB cable to a 3rd party device (e.g. Digital Signage Player or PC).
3. Wait until the white status LED stops blinking. This lasts about 5 seconds.

Software setup for testing (Terminal)

Typically, the XN-115 controller is connected to a 3rd party device, such as a Digital Signage Player, on which CMS software is installed which has built-in
functionality for sending and receiving Serial Events. However, if you want to do a first test on a PC or Mac, follow the instructions below:
1. Download a terminal program. For example
2. Open the Terminal program and go to settings. Choose the COM port on which the XN-115 controller enumerated*.
In most cases this is the highest available number in the COM port drop-down setting.
3. Set the COM port settings to the following values
Baudrate
Parity
Data
Stop
4. Set the COM port to "Open". The controller is now ready for use.
5. When sending consecutive API serial commands to the XN-115 controller, place a 50mS delay between each command.
*In case the XN-115 controller is not recognized as a COM port by the 3rd party device, a driver (Prolific PL2303) can be downloaded

Functionality

The XN-115 runs our API which provides serial output when a specific sensor Element is triggered (for example a pick-up,
or -motion sensor or touch button) and provides control over output Elements (for example controlling LED strips) via serial
input commands. These API serial commands are typically used to create interactive Xperiences for Digital Signage.
The complete API Manual and additional helpful documents can be found on
documentation. To get you started, we've included some starter examples of our Elements and the corresponding API serial
commands on the following pages.

3rd party devices and software

This Quick Start Guide offers a generic explanation of the setup and operation of the XN-115 Xperience controller. It does
not cover information on how to integrate the Controllers, Elements and their API triggers in specific 3rd party devices or
software. We have manuals available with step-by-step instructions on how to integrate Nexmosphere products with the
products of our hardware, -and software partners. You'll find these on the support and partner pages of our website.
