81 Controller Test/Demo Software
Graves Electronics, LLC


Board Settings:

DS2 all switches set to Digital, J2 is configured as inputs.

DS3 set for USB or RS-232, users' choice.

Baud Rate: 2400 BPS


Computer Connection:



Windows:

Requires FTDI driver for Windows installed

You will need a Terminal program like PUTTY or similar.

( PUTTY is a freeware program )

With power applied to the 81 Controller board Plug USB direct or USB RS-232
 adapter into Windows computer.

Look in the Windows Device Manager under Ports(Com & LPT) for a Com port
named USB Serial Port(COMn).

Use this COMn name to set up your PUTTY Serial Terminal connection, our connections
often show up as COM7...


Serial COM Settings:

2400 BPS
8 Data Bits
No Parity
1 Stop Bit




Mac with FTDI driver installed:

( Also Linux machine, driver is built into Linux Kernel. )

Direct USB or USB RS-232 adapter will appear the same way.

With power applied to the 81 Controller Board and USB Plugged in to the Mac find 
the serial port name like this in Apple Terminal App:

 ls /dev/tty.*

 /dev/tty.usbserial-AI04SHJ8   ( typical USB serial tty device name displayed )


To run serial terminal over USB at 2400 Baud type this:

 screen /dev/tty.usbserial-AI04SHJ8 2400







When you type '?' this menu will be sent to the terminal:
