Quick Start

1. Connect the K-LD2 to the X2 connector of

the evaluation kit as shown in Figure 2: Pin con-

figuration and functions

2. Connect the FTDI cable to the X1 connector of

the evaluation kit. The black wire of the cable has

to be connected to the pin 1 of the connector X1.

3. Connect the USB part of the FTDI cable with

your PC

4. Start the K-LD2 Control Panel Software
