Chapter 2 Getting Started
Getting Started with the xDot Developer Kit
Getting started depends on what you want to do. By default, xDot ships with firmware that supports AT
Commands that use the serial I/O. For AT Commands, refer to the separate MultiConnect Dots AT Command
Reference Guide.
Two serial interfaces are available through the USB interface, one is used to send AT commands to the xDot and
the other is for debug messages. Refer to Chapter 4, Specifications and Pin Information for information on which
pins are available out of the box.
Before starting your project development, make sure you have the latest firmware for the Developer Kit and xDot.
Go to the xDot mbed page for firmware. https://developer.mbed.org/platforms/MTS-xDot-L151CC/
To send commands to the xDot:
1. Plug the developer board into a USB port.
2. Open communications software, such as TeraTerm, Putty, or Minicom.
3. Set the following:
Baud rate = 115,200
Data bits = 8
Parity = N
Stop bits = 1
Flow control = Off
To develop using mbed, the xDot mbed page includes libraries and test cases. Refer to mbed Documentation for
details and links.
For help setting up a MultiConnect
®
Conduit
to send data to and from an xDot, refer to Related Documentation .
COM Port Enumeration by Operating System
xDots create an AT Commands port and a debug port.
Linux
The following COM ports are created on Linux systems:
/dev/ttyACMx
/dev/ttyACMy
Where x and y may be 0 and 1, 3 and 4, etc.
The COM port with lower number is the AT command port and COM port with the higher number is the debug
port.
Windows
On Windows systems, COM ports appear in the Device Manager:
Debug Port: mbed Serial Port
CHAPTER 2 GETTING STARTED

MTXDOT Developer Guide
AT Command Port: XR21V1410 USB UART
You may need to install a driver for the debug port to function properly. Go to:
https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/Windows-serial-configuration
Mac
On Mac systems, COM ports appear in the Device Manager as:
/dev/cu.usbmodemx
Where x is a string of numbers and possibly letters, ending in a number.
The COM port with lower number is the AT command port and COM port with the higher number is the debug
port.

Power Draw
Note:
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. recommends that you incorporate a 10% buffer into the power source
when determining product load.
Power measurements are similar for 868 MHz models. Some 868 MHz sub-band frequencies do not
support maximum TXP power of 20.
Transmit power measured with MTXDOT-915-xx transmitting to a MultiConnect Conduit with an
MTAC-LORA-915 accessory card installed.
Idle current measured with the xDot joined with Conduit, but idle without data transferring.
Transmit power measured while transferring data packets using spread factor 9. Packet size limited
to 53 bytes. The Conduit was set to receive packets from and send back to the xDot. A script was run
to send the packet 100 times with either 10 or 53 bytes of data, with an average measurement taken
during that time.
For Inrush charge, recorded the highest observed value from five separate measurements.

Measuring the Power Draw
To measure the power draw on an xDot developer board:
1. Flash the latest AT command firmware on the xDot.
2. Unplug the xDot from the computer and then reconnect it.
3. Connect current meter across JP30 on the developer board.
4. Set wake pin to wake, AT+WP=6.
5. Set wake mode to interrupt, AT+WM=1.
6. Put the xDot to sleep, AT+SLEEP=0|1.
7. Put jumper across JP5.
Note: After this step, AT command and debug ports no longer work.
8. Measure current draw.
9. Press the S2 button on the developer board to wake the xDot

xDot Pinout Design Notes
Refer to the mechanical drawing for your model for pin locations.
All pins that go to connectors are directly connected to the processor.
Refer to Pin Information table for pull up and pull down information.
xDots allow you to program pins depending on your application:
Serial: Available out of the box. See Serial Pinout Notes for details.
mbed: Designed with the STM32L151CCU6 48-pin processor, this option provides the most flexibility. For
more information about processor capabilities, see the processor datasheet.
Serial Pinout Notes
Out of the box, these pins are available for serial applications. Refer to the mechanical drawing for your model for
pin locations.

Serial Settings
When creating a serial connection with the device on the developer board, open communications software (such
as TeraTerm, Putty, or Minicom ), and use the following settings:
Baud rate = 115,200
Data bits = 8
Parity = N
Stop bits = 1
Flow control = Off
LoRa
Throughput Rates
Theoretical maximum speeds for LoRa mode with ACKs off are:
Using spreading factor 7 at 125kHz, the throughput rate is 5470 bps (5.47 kbps).
Using spreading factor 7 at 500kHz the receiving throughput rate is 21900 bps (21.9 kbps).
Note: Data rates in the LoRaWAN specification vary by geographic region.
Range
Variables effecting the range include TX power, antenna gain, RX sensitivity, fade margin, earth's curvature. Use
the following formula to calculate the maximum range:
