Hardware Overview
Control Signal Specification
The module communicates to a host processor via a TTL logic level UART serial port or
via a USB port. Both ports are accessed on the Molex connector or edge vias. The TTL
logic level UART supports complete functionality. The USB port supports complete
functionality except the lowest power operational mode.
Note
specifications apply to control via the TTL UART.
