The MOS-AL162F allows for user configuration of two common serial protocol logic levels. Either RS232
or TTL levels can be selected using the Protocol Select Jumpers and accessed through the four pin
Communication/Power Header as outlined in the Serial Connections section.

Recommended Parts

The most common cable choice for any standard Matrix Orbital
display, the Communication/Power Cable offers a simple connection
to the unit with familiar interfaces. DB9 and floppy power headers
provide all necessary input to drive your display.

Figure 3:* Breadboard Cable (BBC)

For a more flexible interface to the MOS-AL162F, a Breadboard Cable
may be used. This provides a simple four wire connection that is
popular among developers for its ease of use in a breadboard
environment.

*Note:

Physical modification of cable may be required to ensure correct fit..
