Protocol Select Jumpers

The Protocol Select Jumpers, pictured below in

figure 17

, provide the means necessary to toggle the

display module between RS-232, TTL and I

2

C protocols. As a default, the jumpers are set to RS-232 mode

with solder jumps on the 232 jumpers. In order to place the display module in I

2

C mode you must first

remove the solder jumps from the 232 jumpers and then place them on the I2C jumpers. The display will
now be in I

2

C mode and have a default slave address of 0x50 unless it has been changed. Similarly, in order

to change the display to TTL mode, simply remove the zero ohm resistors from the 232 or I

2

C jumpers and

solder them to the TTL jumpers.
