Starter Kit for Speech Playback MCU ML610Q306 Starter Kit Start Guide

• Use in a stand-alone
• ML610Q306 SE/Scale Playback Sample Program (hereinafter SE/Scale Playback Sample Program) has already been written in the flash memory of the ML610Q306 Speech Application Board at the time of shipment.

You can also turn on the ML610Q306 Speech Application Board by connecting the AC-USB power adapter (sold separately) to the USB cable.

1. Connection of the hardware and starting the ML610Q306 SE/Scale Playback Sample Program

   • Set the SW4 on the ML610Q306 Speech Application Board to “ON” side. (At the time of shipment, SW4 is set to “ON” side.)

   • Connect the USB cable (micro B) and the speaker to the ML610Q306 Speech Application Board. (Figure 2)

   • Connect the USB cable to the PC. When connecting the USB cable to the PC, the power is supplied to the ML610Q306 Speech Application Board and start the SE/Scale Playback Sample Program.

   • Install the USB-serial conversion driver.

   • The ML610Q306 Speech Application Board uses FTDI’s FT230XQ as the USB serial conversion IC.
     To operate the SE/Scale Playback Sample Program in the Scale Playback mode, download and install the driver from the FTDI website in advance.

   • For driver installation, follow the Installation Guide posted on the FTDI website.

2. Operation of the SE/Scale Playback Sample Program
   When the SE/Scale Playback Sample Program starts, it displays “LAPIS Technology” to the LCD on the Application Board as figure 3 and becomes the operation mode select mode.

3. Operation mode select mode
   In the operation mode select mode, the SW1(4-direction switch) is used to select the operation mode.
   Select the SE playback mode or scale playback mode on the left and right of the SW1 and push the SW3 to switch to the selected mode.

4. SE playback mode
   In the SE playback mode, the SW1(4-direction switch) is used to select the sound effect (SE).
   Move the cursor up and down to the setting item and select the setting value on the left and right.
   For PHR, select phrase number (0 to 15) corresponding to the sound effect, and for RPT, select playback once (Once) or playback repeat (Loop).
   When pushing the SW2, the sound effect of the displayed phrase number is played. When pushing the SW2 again during playback, playback is stopped.
   When pushing the SW3 in this status, the mode moves to the operation mode select mode.

5. Scale playback mode
   In the Scale playback mode, the scale is played according to the data received by the UART (serial port). When pushing the SW3 in this status, the mode moves to the operation mode select mode.

In this mode, terminal software such as Tera Term is used.
Set the UART (serial port) communication settings of the terminal software as follows.

• If you enter a key from a PC while the terminal software is running, data will be sent from the PC and the scale will be played according to the data received on the application board.
• The scale for UART received data is as follows. If data not listed below is received, nothing is processed in this mode.
