3 Connect Hardware

Plug the TSL2521 Daughterboard into the Controller board (Figure 1). Always use ESD procedures

when handling the EVM.

Using the enclosed USB cable, plug the micro-B connector into the EVM module. Using the other end

of the cable, plug the USB A-connector into a USB port on the computer.

When the USB cable is connected, the green LED should light on power up to indicate that power is

being received via the USB interface, and the controller board processor is running. If the green LED

does not light, check the USB cable connections; unplug the USB cable and try again. If the green

LED still does not light, check the PC for USB error messages.
