NodeBuilder Editor. Edit the Neuron C source code generated by the Code Wizard to create your

device’s application, or create and edit your own Neuron C code.

NodeBuilder Debugger. Debug your application with a source-level view of your application code

as it executes.

NodeBuilder Project Manager. Build and download your application image to your development

platform or to your own device hardware.

The IzoT NodeBuilder software include three Neuron C example applications that you can run on your
FT 6000 EVBs. You can use these examples to test the I/O devices on the FT 6000 EVB, and create
simple IzoT and L

networks. You can view the Neuron C code used in the example

applications, and then create a new device application by modifying the existing example applications
or by developing the device application from scratch.

For more information on using the FT 6000 EVB example applications, see the FT 6000 EVB

devices. The FT 6000 EVB includes an FT 6050 Smart Transceiver with an external

10 MHz crystal (you can adjust the system’s internal clock speed from 5MHz to 80MHz), an FT-X3
communication transformer, 512KB external serial flash memory devices, and a 3.3V power source.
The FT 6000 EVB features a compact design that includes the following I/O devices that you can use
to develop prototype and production devices and test the FT 6000 EVB example applications:

• 4 x 20 character LCD
• 4-way joystick with center push button
• 2 push-button inputs

• 2 LED outputs
• Light-level sensor
• Temperature sensor

The FT 6000 EVB Evaluation Board also includes an EIA-232/TIA-232 (formerly RS-232) and USB
interfaces that you can use to connect the board to your development computer and perform
application-level debugging.

Each FT 6000 EVB also features a flash ICE header that supports the SPI and I

downloads when programming the external non-volatile memory of the FT 6000 Smart Transceiver on
the board.
