2.8 Settings Menu

Select Settings to modify the display settings for the Experimenter's Board. Use the wheel to select the setting to modify and press S1 to enter.

Press S2 to return to the main menu.

Contrast: Modify the contrast of the LCD by turning the wheel. When first entering the menu, the contrast remains unchanged for a few seconds to allow the user to read the instructions and then changes to the setting for the current position of the wheel.

After the contrast is set at the desired level, press S2 to return to the Settings submenu.

Backlight: Modify the brightness of the backlight by turning the wheel. There are 12 brightness settings, from having the backlight turned off up to full brightness.

After the backlight is set at the desired level, press S2 to return to the Settings submenu.

Calibrate Accel: Sets the "default" position for the accelerometer. An instruction screen is shown first. For best results, set the board on a flat surface. Press S1 to start calibrations. The accelerometer readings at that point in time are stored to flash and are subtracted from the subsequent accelerometer readings of other applications like USB Mouse and USB Tilt Puzzle.

SW Version: Displays the current version of the firmware loaded on the Experimenter's Board.

LEDs & Logo: Lights all the LEDs on the board. There are one red, one yellow, one green, and five blue LEDs on the capacitive touch pads. This provides a method to determine whether or not all the LEDs are in working condition.

The screen also displays the TI Bug and a USB Flash Drive logo on the screen.
