Note: This documentation applies only to series 2 LPMS (LPMS-B2 etc.).
If you have a new LPMS IMU you will probably want to adjust its settings for your use-case. This is a step-by-step tutorial for doing that.
...
- if your are using a USB connection to your LPMS unit, and if you are on Windows, you will have to install a driver for the UART chip that we use to communicate with the motion sensor. For all recent models these are the CP210x family of chips by SILabs. This is a fairly common chip, so you might have the driver installed already. Otherwise, SILabs's driver can be downloaded from their website, here http://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers
- start OpenMAT and turn on or connect your IMU if you haven't already
- click on the plus-shaped icon near the left-hand edge of the task bar, alternatively click on "Add/Remove Sensor" in the "Connect" menu. A window such as the following will appear.
- Click on the "Scan devices" button, wait for the opration to finish. If your IMU is not connected via Bluetooth, you can interrupt the search after a few seconds.
- In the upper half of the window, click on the newly found IMU.
- Click "Add device"
- Click "Save devices"
- Select your newly added IMU from the dropdown "Preferred device" right below the menu bar, it should be the last item in the list
- To connect, click on the flash-icon, i.e. the leftmost icon in the screenshot.
