2 OPT4001YMNEVM Hardware

Figure 2-1 shows the system setup for the OPT4001YMNEVM. The computer runs the graphical user interface (GUI) software that communicates with the OPTMBEVM board over a USB connection. The OPTMBEVM has a USB Type C port and ships with a USB-C to USB-A cable. The OPTMBEVM board acts as a bridge between the software running on the PC and the OPT4001YMN coupon board. The MSP430 on the OPTMBEVM receives USB commands from the PC and communicates with the OPT4001YMN over I2C.
