To begin using the kit, assemble the kit’s hardware and install the sensor toolbox software on the 
Windows

®

 PC to which the kit will be connected.

As instructed in the LFSTBEB3110 Quick Start Guide:

1. Attach the two LFSTBEB3110 boards to the LFSTBUSB USB-interface board.

2. The two LFSTBEB3110 boards are supplied connected. If they become separated, reconnect them, 

aligning the Pin-1 white arrows on both boards.

The hardware assembly will be completed as part of the software-installation procedure that follows.

When the kit is assembled, its compass-pointing direction is indicated by the red arrow in the preceding 
illustration. This direction ergonomically facilitates the evaluation of the eCompass functionality as the 
board assembly can be held by its USB connector.

The free sensor toolbox software provides an eCompass application with hard- and soft-iron calibration 
algorithms.

At the end of the installation process, you will be asked about installing a Future Technology Devices 
International (FTDI) serial-to-USB communications driver. This driver is required for communication 
between the PC and the evaluation board. If you have previously installed the sensor toolbox software, this 
driver already is installed.

The kit’s navigation application uses a Google Maps™ demonstration powered by the Adobe

®

 

Shockwave

®

 software. If the free Shockwave software is not installed on your PC, follow the instructions 

at the end of the procedure.
