2 Usage
Whenever you need, start the app by clicking the Spirit Settings icon from your desktop. The USB interface must be plugged in your computer before starting. If everything is OK, you will see a Device in the Connection tab. There is a chance you might see other COM ports that are assigned to another devices too, but this is not a problem.
If launching for the first time, you will be prompted whether to start the Setup Wizard. In case you have never configured your Spirit unit earlier, click Yes and proceed according the instructions.
The following window can be seen in the classic setup mode - when the Setup Wizard is not running.
The Device must always contain a COM port. This is assigned by operating system for the USB interface. The COM port ID can vary on each computer. It can be seen in the Device manager under COMs & LPTs section as Silicon Labs CP210x device.
3 Troubleshooting
3.1 Scanning devices message
If you can see Scanning devices message with no change over more than 10 seconds reboot your computer and turn off the Bluetooth module (if enabled on your computer). Then start the Spirit Settings again - this time it should continue correctly.
3.2 Missing COM port
If you can't see any COM port in the Spirit Settings it mean you have to install the USB interface driver or it was installed improperly. Please reinstall the Spirit Settings as described in the Installation procedure above. Do not forget to tick the USB interface driver installation. After installation you may need to reboot your computer.
To make sure your USB interface will work properly, please right click at the Computer and open Device Manager. There you can open COMs & LPTs section which must contain Silicon Labs CP210x device. Device name must contain assigned COM port.
If the device is not present at all, the Spirit Settings will not recognize it too. Please try connecting it to a different USB port and observe if Red LED light on the USB interface is On. If you will see a warning icon for this device it mean the currently installed driver is not compatible or the computer is still installing the driver. After computer reboot it should work correctly.
