GETTING STARTED
Step 1: Plug in Kit and Run Terminal Program
After plugging in your kit, launch a terminal program of your choice. Examples include: Windows Terminal, Terminal on macOS, and TeraTerm. Select the appropriate COM port and set the baud rate to 115200 to connect to the board.
Step 2: Download the BGX Commander Mobile App
Download the BGX Commander mobile app, built using the BG Xpress framework for mobile app development. With BGX Commander, you can connect and communicate with the BGX13P, as well as perform an over-the-air firmware update on the module.
Step 3: (Optional) Download and Install Simplicity Studio
Xpress Configurator, an application included with Simplicity Studio, provides a graphical interface, terminal window, and context-sensitive documentation to help you learn about the different Bluetooth Xpress parameters.
Step 4: Run BGX Commander Mobile App and Connect to the BGX13P
Start BGX commander on your mobile app. Scan and connect to the BGX13P module. Now text typed into BGX Commander will be transmitted across the BLE link to the BGX13P and appear in the Xpress Configurator terminal window.
