Installing Arduino IDE and compiling your first projectĬompile and run a very simple sketch on your Arduino board. You can choose which UART interface to use, by re-soldering jumpers:īy default the AA-30.ZERO is using the UART2 interface. After that, simply plug your AA-30.ZERO into your Arduino board: If you want to connect your analyzer to an Arduino board, you should first solder the breakaway headers.
The AA-30.ZERO is supplied with a straight breakaway headres kit: Pairing the AA-30.ZERO with the Arduino Uno
Notice the flashing LED at the PC board if the AA-30.ZERO…Ī few seconds later, the result is displayed:Ī newer version of the desktop software, called AntScope2, is available instructions are similar to the above ones. Please make sure that the COM port number is set correctly:Ĭongratulations! Now everything is ready for the first measurement!Ĭonnect AA-30.ZERO to your antenna (or some other load you wish to measure) using a flexible cable adapter, then click the Scan range icon right under the menu bar:Ĭlick the Set full range button and click OK to start: If the AntScope software does not detect the AA-30.ZERO automatically, please select the type of the connected device in the Configure menu:
AA30 ZERO ANTSCOPE SMITH CHART ARCHIVE
Please download the AntScope software, open the archive and extract files (with subdirectories) into your workplace, then run AntScope.exe: Please make sure that the operating system recognizes your USB-to-UART adapter and installs the driver: NOTE: connect USB adapter’s TX pin to the RX pin of the analyzer PC board, then connect USB adapter’s RX pin to the TX pin of the analyzer.Ĭonnect the USB2UART to your PC by using a standard USB cable. The USB2UART adapter is connected to the AA-30.ZERO by using colored wires.
AA30 ZERO ANTSCOPE SMITH CHART SERIAL
To make our first project, we could get, for example, the SparkFun USB UART Serial Breakout. The AA-30.ZERO can communicate with other devices through any of two built-in UART interfaces: UART1 (pins 0/TX1 and 2/RX1) and UART2 (pins 4/TX2 and 7/RX2). The AA-30.ZERO comes without a built-in USB circuitry, so an off-board USB to UART-TTL serial converter should be used to communicate with the analyzer. Please note that the AA-30.ZERO operates at 5V (like most Arduino or Arduino compatible boards).īe sure to provide the correct power and use components/adaptors whose operating voltage matches the AA-30.ZERO. It is the best choice for a measuring core you want to leave embedded in a project. It comes without on-board USB or pin headers to keep the cost down. The AA-30.ZERO is intended for users who require flexibility, low-cost, and small size.
