Press to manually start / stop a logging session. Note this may be overridden by any on-board scripts that may automatically start or stop logging.
Communication Ports
The communication ports a standard RS232 serial connection with power (up to 5v at 1.5A)
- Port 1
Used for telemetry expansion module
- Port 2
used for GPS module
Internal Switches / Jumpers
4 position DIP switch (SW1)
This switch bank configures the 4 outputs for Analog or Frequency/PWM mode. To enable analog mode for a particular output channel, slide the switch for the selected channel to the 'on' position. For Frequency/PWM mode slide the switch to 'off'.
GPIO configuration jumpers
The array of jumper blocks configures the 3 GPIO channels for either digital input or output. To configure a particular channel, move the jumper to either the IN position (for input) or OUT (for output)
- When configured for input, the channel accepts a 0-5v input.
- When configured for output, the channel provides an open-drain output that can drive 1A and is thermal / over-current protected with inductive load clamping. When the output is deactivated, a 1K ohm pull-up to +5v is present.
