Connecting to the Board via USB
The SiRad Simple® Evaluation Kit software for PC is available at the Silicon Radar webpage upon request. There are two options to connect the sensor to the Evaluation Kit software, either using a UART-USB connection provided by a virtual COM port or via WiFi. The hardware setup for the UART and WiFi connection modes have been explained in User Guide in [https://login.siliconradar.com/ Customer Download Area].

'''Installing the USB driver and Flash Tool'''
To install the USB driver, go to the ST Microelectronics website and download and install ST-LINK USB driver (STSW-LINK009). Once the USB driver is installed, the Evaluation Kit should provide a virtual COM port.
 
'''SiRad Simple®'''
 
The sensor board can be connected to a PC via USB through an FTDI cable (delivered with the evaluation kit), which provides a virtual COM port. We recommend using a cable with an FTDI chipset instead of cheaper alternatives since a lot of our customers found cheaper alternatives to be very unstable. If you want to use a cheaper alternative, skip the next point and see the vendor’s website of your cable.
