Construction The following sections describe the assembly of the missing components on the circuit board. All components are located on the assembly side and the assembly process itself is supported by the assembly imprint on the circuit board. The order of assembly depends on the height of the components - the general rule is that the flattest components are assembled first.
Development board PiKoder /SPE LAN construction instructions Assembling the socket strips Finally, the remaining socket strips have to be fitted, which will then accommodate the Ethernet converter . For alignment, the socket strips are plugged into the con- verter and then placed onto the circuit board. If you care-...
The required software modules are available to download free of charge on the In- ternet. PPM and connection settings In the first step, you make the PPM and connection settings of the PiKoder via the USB port on the base circuit board. In addition to a suitable USB cable, you also need the “...

Development board PiKoder /SPE LAN construction instructions Please change the baud rate to 115200 and then press the “Save Parameters” button. This completes the setting of the PiKoder/SPE and you can remove the USB cable.
Setting the Ethernet adapter The following section describes the necessary settings of the Ethernet adapter . First connect your PiKoder/SPE LAN to a 5 Volt power source as shown in the following image. To parameterize the Ethernet adapter, use the manufacturer's configuration pro- gram ETH-002_configuration.exe , which you...
