4.1 Hardware Setup
Connect a USB cable (suggest FTDI accessory VA-FC-1M-BKW or VA-FC-1M-BLW) from the
VM801P USB port CN2 to the PC USB host port or self-powered hub port.
The USB will supply power to the VM801P module after the FTDI FT232R driver is properly
loaded and the USB host completes USB device configuration.
4.2 Software Setup
The arduino code can be downloaded from the Arduino IDE to the ATMEGA328P through the USB
connector CN2 connected to the PC. The USB connector CN2 is also used to display debug output
from the ATMEGA328P to the PC terminal application.
Default sample code is downloaded to the ATMEGA328P during the VM801P module
manufacturing. When the VM801P is connected to the PC through the USB connector CN2, the
VM801P is powered up and the sample code is functional with the demo applications.
Download the Arduino IDE from http://arduino.cc/en/main/software.
Install the Arduino IDE
Open the Arduino IDE
Open the FT801 sample project to be downloaded to the VM801P
(Examples are available from:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/SoftwareExamples/FT800_Projects.htm
Or you may have developed your own code)
Select the Tools->Board-> Arduino Pro or Pro Mini(5V, 16MHz) w/ATmega328 as shown in
Fig 4.1.
Select the Tools->Serial Port->COMxx corresponding to the VM801P as shown in Fig 4.2.
Click the Upload button as shown in Fig 4.3. This will upload the FT801 sample to the
VM801P.
