Getting Started
The Evaluation Kit exists from the FTDI USB cable and the Evaluation board with pre-mounted
adapter for diffuser, which is necessary to fulfil the optical requirements of the AS7341 filter
specification.
The Evaluation board has an I²C interface, which will be converted to UART with USB interface by the
FTDI cable.
Figure 2:
AS7341 Eval Kit with Sensor and Evaluation Board and Pre-Mounted Diffuser
Plug the FTDI cable into the socket of the Evaluation board and connect the kit via USB to PC.
The Evaluation Kit requires a onetime installation of FTDI Virtual COM Port Driver for the USB cable.
The installation files for the FTDI adapter were on the USB Data Stick in the setup directories. Please
install it as an administrator.
If there is an issue about the installation, please read our AS7341 Quick_Start_Guide on USB stick or
refer to
www.ftdichip.com
for more information.
Install the AS7341 Software from the AS7341_Software.msi on the USB Data Stick.
Please see chapter 5 for the software handling and description.
