Connecting and Configuring Your Device
Connect the Device
- Connect the Anchor device from your Creator Kit Q1 or Expansion Kit to your PC with a USB cable.
- Open the web configuration tool.
👉 https://growspace-uwb.web.app - Click the [Connect] button at the top of the page, then select your connected device from the serial port list.
- Example:
Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COM3) - After selecting it, click [Connect] and you will see a confirmation message.
Port names can vary by PC.
Check Windows Device Manager to confirm the actual COM port your device is on before selecting it.
If Your Device Is Not Detected
If your device does not connect to your PC, or does not appear in the port list, work through these checks in order.
- Try a different USB cable and reconnect.
A faulty cable can sometimes prevent the device from being detected properly. - Try a different USB port.
Detection can vary by port, so try switching ports if possible. - Check whether the CP210x VCP driver is installed.
This is especially important for Listener devices — the port will not be recognized correctly without it. - If you have not installed the driver yet, see the guide below.
