TTL interface

4 GPIO inputs and 4 GPIO outputs

8 LEDs to indicate the input and output
status

5 V tolerant buffers

Screw connector to connect the UART
signals, GPIO inputs and GPIO outputs


5.2 UART Interface connection
The TX signal on CN3 is connected to the RX signal on the external UART device.
The RX signal on CN3 is connected to the TX signal on the external UART device.
The RTS signal on CN3 is connected to the CTS signal on the external UART device.
The CTS signal on CN3 is connected to the RTS signal on the external UART device.
The GND signal on CN3 is connected to the GND signal on the external UART device.
The output from the external device is connected to the inputs I/P1, I/P2, I/P3 and I/P4 on the CN3.
The outputs O/P1, O/P2, O/P3 and O/P4 on the CN3 are connected to the input on the external device.
