4 Configuration of Codespot Pro
On the internal microSD card of your Codespot Pro are now two audio files that
should be played after a signal from one of the connected light barriers indicates
that a visitor is approaching or leaving.
In its basic configuration, Codespot Pro plays all stored audio files successively. You
can check this behavior by connecting headphones or speakers to the line output.
Even if the light barriers and the LED-spot are never really connected to Codespot
Pro, we need to outline the intended hardware setup:
Input 1 Light barrier, indicating an approaching visitor
Input Light barrier, indicating a leaving visitor
Output 1 LED spot for the glowing-eyes effect
4.1 Setup of Codespot Manager
To configure Codespot Pro you need to connect it to your PC's RS- 3 port using a
serial cable. If you have no free serial port at your PC you can also use an USB / RS-
3 bridge that you can get at the local computer store.
At first, start Codespot Manager. The program immediately tries to establish a
connection to Codespot Pro.
If it is not connected to the pre-configured interface COM1, an error message shows
up. If you click on
Yes,
the software searches the serial ports of your PC for Codespot
Pro.
