Next step is to set up the COM port with your settings. Figure 8 shows 2400 but it might be better to start with
1200 BAUD to ensure connection with out any problems. You can increase the BAUD rate at a later time. You
must also change the Flow control to NONE. If you don’t change this, the PC will not communicate with the
Micro-KIM. With the changes made, select OK. The correct COM port settings are in figure 9 below.

Your connection is now complete. Make sure your cable is connected to your PC and to the Micro-KIM before
turning on the Micro-KIM. The cable used should be a Male/Female DB9 RS232 extension cable. Do not use a
Null Modem cable as this will not work.
As a last stage, you might want to change the character delay to 5ms and the line delay to 200ms under FILE,
PROPERTIES, SETTINGS tab. Click on the ASCII setup and you can change the values there. This will help
ensure that you don’t lose data.
You can now prep your Micro-KIM for serial communication by placing a jumper shorting block on JP2
located above the Micro-KIM logo on the PCB.
