SWRU??? January 2013 Web sites: www.ti.com/ble E2E Forum: www.ti.com/ble-forum CC2541 Advanced Remote Control Quick Start Guide Opening the Box and Evaluating Bluetooth® Low Energy Kit Contents  1 x Advanced Remote  1 x CC2540USB Dongle  1 x CC Debugger/Programmer  3 x AAA Battery  Documentation The RF Boards in this kit are FCC and IC certified and tested to comply with ETSI/R&TTE over temperature from 0 to +35°C. Caution! The kit contains ESD sensitive components. Handle with care to prevent permanent damage. Introduction This document will guide you through the initial steps required in order to run the pre programmed Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) demo application. You will get familiar with the hardware in the box and how to interface the remote with different platforms. 1. Evaluate using dongle. A USB dongle pre-programmed with firmware acting as translator between BLE HID and USB HID is supplied in the kit and works with most operating system platforms. 2. Evaluate using Windows 8 native. Windows 8 includes native support for the BLE HID over GATT profile. Using a BT4.0 dongle or internal BT4.0 hardware you can easily connect the Advanced Remote to your computer. Hardware Setup Insert 3xAAA (LR03) batteries in the Advanced Remote’s battery holder. You are good to go. Pressing any button on the remote will put it into advertising mode and make it detectable by Bluetooth Low Energy capable hosts. Connect Using Single Mode BT4.0 Low Energy CC2540USB HID Dongle 1. Insert dongle in USB port The dongle will be enumerated as three USB Human Interface Device class devices.  Mouse  Keyboard  Consumer control The LED on the dongle should start blinking red, indicating it’s scanning for a Bluetooth Low Energy peripheral which advertises BLE HID service capabilities. 2. Advertise and connect Press any number key or consumer control key to make the device advertise. The devices will now connect and pair using JustWorks pairing. The dongle LED should now blink green when data is received from the Advanced Remote and otherwise be off. Long term bonding entries will be stored in both the Advanced Remote and dongle to speed up subsequent reconnections. 3. Manage connection and bonds Pressing SW1 on the dongle will disconnect any active connection between the dongle and an Advanced Remote. Pressing SW2 on the dongle will erase all long term bond information stored on the dongle. Pressing this button will not affect bond data stored on the Advanced Remote. Connect to Windows 8 with BT 4.0 LE (Smart Ready) hardware 1. Make sure LE works In Device manager, under Bluetooth, make sure that you see references to Bluetooth LE. 2. Open PC settings Move your mouse to the lower right hand corner and click on Settings. Then click on Change PC settings. 3. Add Advanced Remote Then click on Devices and Add a device.
4. Select and add the remote If you have pressed a button on the Advanced Remote, and it’s not connected to another host, it will show up in the list of found devices. 5. Enter pairing code The devices will now pair using Passkey entry. On your Advanced Remote, enter the 6-digit passkey displayed on the computer screen. The Advanced Remote is now paired with Windows and bond data is stored on both devices, making reconnection faster and passkey entry unnecessary. 6. Remove device A device can be removed from Windows and bond data deleted by clicking on the device and then the ( – ) symbol. Using the Advanced Remote Control Mouse keys Mouse speed Action keys 1. Advertise and connect Almost all the keys will make the Advanced Remote start advertising and be discoverable by hosts scanning for HID capable BLE devices. 2. Keyboard input Pressing any number will act as a keyboard input of that number. The same goes for OK which is Enter, Back which is Backspace and the four keys surrounding OK, which act as directional or arrow keys. 3. Consumer control Buttons such as Volume, Mute, Play/Pause etc. are consumer control keys, and will control media settings on your computer. 4. Mouse input Holding down the middle button will prompt the Advanced Remote to interpret your movement of the remote as mouse input and send this to the computer. Double clicking the middle button will lock the mouse function. The left and right buttons act as left and right mouse buttons. Pressing AV and –/– will decrease and increase mouse speed. 5. Remove bond information Pressing the Red action button will remove bonding information stored on the Advanced Remote. Pairing will have to be done again, using passkey entry if applicable. 6. Calibrate Pressing the Blue action button will force the Advanced Remote to recalibrate the onboard gyroscope and accelerometer used for motion sensing.
