2.2.1

Run the remote control (RC) and virtual TV applications

The STM32-Primer2 tool provided with the STM32W-SK starter kit (only STM32W108B-SK)

is delivered with the RC application. This application automatically configures the connected

MB850 extension board with the related ZigBee RF4CE RC application.

The application board is automatically configured when launching the RF4CETV PC applet.

To run the RC and TV applications on the STM32 Primer2, MB850 and application board

platforms, the following steps are required:

Connect the MB850 to the extension connector of the STM32-Primer2 tool.

Power on your STM32-Primer2.

Press the joystick button to launch the Main Menu and select Applic.->RF4CE RC.

If everything is properly done, the LCD screen displays a set of RF4CE RC commands.

Connect the application board to the PC using a mini USB cable with P2 fitted in

position 5-6 (power from USB). A virtual COM port should appear in the Windows

Device Manager.

From Windows, launch the RF4CETV.exe PC applet. A PC applet GUI appears.

Select the serial port matching the port assigned by the Windows Device Manager. If

the firmware on the application board is not present, the application uploads the

firmware through the serial port. Wait until LED D1 is on.

Push the button

to start pairing with the RF4CE remote control. LED D1 starts

blinking quickly when the node is ready for pairing (for 30 sec.).

On your STM32-Primer2, use the joystick to scroll between button pages until you find

the button

. Push the button to start pairing with the application board.

If everything is properly done, a message on your STM32-Primer2 screen and in the

RF4CETV applet informs you that the pairing process has been successful.
