3 Using the RK-Wi.232FHSS-FCC Evaluation Software

The software supplied with the RK-Wi.232FHSS-25-FCC™ RadKit is used to read and set the volatile and

non-volatile registers with the Wi.232FHSS-25™ module. Refer to the Wi.232FHSS™ User’s Manual for

more information on the register settings.

3.1 Module Selection

The RK-Wi.232FHSS-FCC™ evaluation software supports both

the 25mW and 250mW versions of frequency hopping modules.

Select the Wi.232FHSS-25™ module type.

3.2 COM Port Setup and Selection.

Upon starting the RK-Wi.232FHSS-FCC™ evaluation software, you

will be presented with a COM port selection dialog box. If you are

using the USB interface, make sure that the evaluation board is

already connected to the computer via the USB cable before you

start the software. This will ensure that the virtual COM port which is

assigned to the USB to UART bridge controller by Windows is visible

in the COM port selection list.

The first time you start the RK-Wi.232FHSS-FCC™ evaluation

software, the Baud Rate should be left at 2400 baud, since this is the

factory default baud rate setting for the module.

Tip: The RK-Wi.232FHSS-FCC™ evaluation software does not auto-

detect the baud rate of the module. If you have changed the Non-

Volatile Data Rate register, you will have to select the baud rate you

set this register to when you start the RK-Wi.232FHSS-FCC™

evaluation software.
