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.
