6. Insert the barrel connector of the included power supply into the barrel jack of the
included U20 USB network interface, connect the power supply to the included power
cord that is appropriate for you region (US/Japan or Continental European), plug the
power cord into a power outlet, and then plug the U20 USB network interface into an
available USB port on your computer. For more information on installing and using
the U20 USB Network Interface, see the L
ON W ORKS USB Network Interface User’s
Guide.

Note: You can use a different network interface such as remote network interface
(i.LON SmartServer or i.LON 100 e3 plus Internet Server), or an IP-852 interface
(i.LON SmartServer with IP-852 routing or i.LON 100 e3 plus Internet Server with
IP-852 routing, or i.LON 600 L
ON W ORKS -IP Server).
7. Complete the quick-start exercise in Chapter 3, Mini FX Quick-Start Exercise. In the
quick-start exercise, you will develop a device with one sensor and one actuator. The
sensor is a simple sensor that monitors a push button on a PL 3150/PL 3170 EVB.
The actuator drives the state of an LED on the PL 3150/PL 3170 EVB based on the
state of the button.
This quick-start guides you through all the steps of creating a device with the Mini
kit, including writing the Neuron C code that implements your device functionality,
building the device application, downloading the device application, and testing the
device.
8. Run the MGDemo, MGSwitch, MGLight, and MGKeyboard Neuron C example
applications included with the Mini kit on your PL 3150 and PL 3170 EVBs. You can
use the example applications to test the I/O devices on the Mini Gizmo I/O Boards
that you can attach to the PL 3150/PL 3170 EVBs, and create simple self-installed
and managed L ON W ORKS networks. You need to purchase a LonMaker tool or other
network tool to create a managed network with the Mini FX/PL example
applications.
The PL 3150 EVB comes pre-loaded with the MGDemo example application; the PL
3170 EVB comes pre-loaded with the MGSwitch example application. With these
pre-loaded example applications, you can create a simple self-installed L ON W ORKS
network where the push buttons on the PL 3170 EVB are connected to the LEDs on
the PL 3150 EVB.
For more information on using the Mini FX/PL example applications, see the Mini
FX/PL Examples Guide.
