Use the following steps to run the compass software and connect to the board.
1.
Start the compass application by running Compass.exe located by default at "C:\SiLabs\MCU\Demos\C8051F35x".
The application is shown in Figure 11.
2.
To connect to the board, the COM port designated to compass device must be specified. To find the correct COM port,
open the PC's "Device Manager" window. Expand the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section. Find the COM port assigned to
"CP210x USB to UART Bridge Controller". An example is shown in Figure 12.
