The AnalogMAX is multi-featured sensor fusion FPGA development platform targeting smart city and smart building applications. It is based on the MAX10 Intel FPGA, including the brand-new Smoke & Aerosol Detector ADPD188BI from Analog Devices. The ADPD188BI is a complete photometric system for smoke detection utilizing optical dual-wavelength technology. The chip integrates a highly efficient photometric front end, two LEDs, and a photodiode. The board also includes a fully calibrated single-chip temperature sensor (0.25°C, 16-Bit), MEMS accelerometer (3-axis), and compact 8-channel ADC/DAC/GPIO extender. A soft core NIOS II processor and sample HDL code provides the means by which the sensors are configured and read via Python code running within a Jupyter notebook .

Install pySerial

The python serial port support library pySerial needs to be added. It provides backends for Python running on Windows, OSX, Linux, BSD (possibly any POSIX compliant system) and IronPython to access a serial port.

1. Open the Anaconda command prompt

   a. Press the Windows key and type “Anaconda prompt”

2. In the command prompt type “conda install -c anaconda pyserial”

3. Type “y” to proceed with the install

   a. “Executing transaction: done” means the install is complete

4. Close the window

Check the AnalogMAX connection

1. Plug in the AnalogMAX using a micro USB cable

2. Open Device Manager

   a. Press the Windows key and type “device manager”
