    This document provides instructions for using a PK7 kit to enable wireless communication between an Arduino UNO and PC. The PK7 hardware connects to the UNO and provides a soft serial connection via jumper settings. Software includes the Arduino IDE, serial terminal, and driver. An example Arduino sketch is provided to control an LED based on commands sent from the PC terminal to the UNO via the PK7 connection.

    AN-0009 PK7 UNO to PC SoftSerial communication

    AN-0009 use PK7 to implement communication between PC and UNO.


    1 Introduction
    PK7 is a very high performance cost ratio kit for Arduino UNO, user can use this kit easy to implement wireless communication between PC and UNO.

    Hardware request
    In this application , you need below hardware: 1 x PC 1 x PK7 The hardware connection as below.

    Figure 1: Hardware connection After you got the item , the UNO main board and Shield board was packaged separately, you need to plug the shield into the UNO board.

    S1: Open the package S2: Plug shield into the UNO

    S3: Insert battery and powered ON

    S4: The PWR LED on UNO is light DOC ID: AN0009 www.inhaos.com Page: 1 of 3

    AN-0009 PK7 UNO to PC SoftSerial communication


    Since most Arduino UNO have USB to Serial bridge onboard, the data line will be appropriation by the USB chip, so we need set to softserial. The shield provide a jumper for hardware uart and soft uart configuration, the component number is P4 and location is right side of the RF module. The below schematic show the configuration part :

    For this application , the P4 setting as below: No. Pin Left Pin Right Function Left 1 12 11 Module RESET 2 10 9 Module CONFIG 3 8 7 MCU_RXD 4 6 5 MCU_RXD 5 4 3 MCU_TXD 6 2 1 MCU_TXD

    Function Right IO 6 IO 7 IO 8 IO 1 IO 9 IO 0

    Connection OPEN OPEN CONNECTED OPEN CONNECTED OPEN

    The default baud rate is 9600,n,8,1 , if you set module to another baudrate setting and forgot it , you can use Module RESET to reset the baudrate setting to 9600bps. MCU_CONFIG used for advanced usage, we will release another sample for complex application. IO 8 and IO 9 should be connected MCU_RXD and MCU_TXD, in code the setting is:

    AN-0009 PK7 UNO to PC SoftSerial communication


    3 Software request
    In order to using this module , you need to prepare below software: --- Arduino 1.5.2 --- sscom32E.exe V3.2 Serial tool for Windows --- LC-1000U Driver: http://www.inhaos.com/downcount.php?download_id=90

    All the software can be download at www.inhaos.com After install LC-1000U driver , system will be assign a COMx port number to LC-1000U , remember this port number and it will be used for testing.

    Arduino Code
    The Arduino code was tested with Arduino 1.5.2 , the function as below: PC sent command LED = ON to UNO , the LED will be light, and return LED=ON to PC. PC sent command LED = OFF to UNO , the LED will be OFF. and return LED=OFF to PC. The command are not case-sensitive. The = symbol can be add space to more clear for reading.

    Test
    Connect UNO to PC via USB cable , and uploading sketch to UNO.
    Important note: Do not click the DTR checkbox , check DTR will let

    LC-1000U entry config mode , if you click this box with carelessness, please uncheck the DTR box , then close the software , plug out LC-1000U and re-plug in, it will reset to normal mode. Plug difference USB port maybe assigned different COM port number.
