C8051F970DK-QSG C8051F970 DEVELOPMENT KIT QUICK START GUIDE 1. Getting Started Step 1. Install Simplicity Studio If its not already installed, download and install Simplicity Studio from the Silicon Labs website. Simplicity Studio is a free software suite needed to start developing your application. www.silabs.com/simplicity-studio The CP210x VCP drivers must be installed to view the capacitive sensing data. Accept if Simplicity Studio opens a prompt to install the drivers. Step 2. Set Up Your Kit Connect the USB Debug Adapter to the computer using one of the standard USB cables. Connect the 10-pin ribbon cable from the USB Debug Adapter to the DEBUG header (H8) on the development board and move the VDD Select switch (SW1) to the VREG position. Then, connect the power adapter to the 512 V DC (P1) connector on the development board.

Use the Capacitive Sensing Slider Slide a finger along the capacitive sensing slider (picture). LED12, LED13, LED14, and LED16 will light up indicating the detected finger position on the slider. Step 4. Use the Capacitive Sensing Buttons Place a finger on one of the buttons in the capacitive sensing array (picture). LED05 will indicate a single finger detected, and LED15 lights up when a second button is pressed concurrently. Step 5. Detect Your Device Once the kit is connected, open Simplicity Studio and click the Detect Connected Device button. This will verify that the installation was successful, identify the MCU on the kit hardware, and automatically configure the software tools for use with your device. 2 Rev. 0.2 Not Recommended for New Designs
