3 Connection method

3.1 Connecting the evaluation board and interface board

Refer to the following for the connection between the interface board and the evaluation board,

and connect so that Pin.1 of the interface board and VIO next to the reset switch of the evaluation

board overlap.

3.2 Interface board's connectors

Since the function assigned to the connector depends on the board to be connected, the

connector on which the sensor operates differs. When using a sensor that uses an ADC for the

driver, connect the sensor by referring to the table below so that the pin used matches the pin

indicated in AIN.

6 How to add a new sensor

When adding a new sensor other than the sensor supported by this KIT, the software needs

to be changed. In that case, please refer to "Multisensor Board Beacon-DevGuide_JP"

which describes the software structure and the procedure of the change method and "BLE

Development Guide_JP" which describes the outline of BLE.

The source code of "TY'S Terminal" is also released . So please download it from the URL

below and use it.
