Connectors

J1 - DB-25 I/O Connector

• Pins 1, 2, 14 are connected to Ground
• Pins 12, 13, 25 are connected to Power
• Pins 3-11 and 15-24 are connected to the Prototype area and are labeled on the PCB

J2 - I2C Termination

• Two of two position headers
• Install headers in each position to terminate I2C line
• There should only be one I2C termination and it should be at the end of the I2C line

J3 - I2C

• Connector is 2x5 of 0.1" header
• Intended to be used for I2C daisy-chain of 4-pin cabling
• Power can be attached to the connector or power can be provided to the card via the J1 power connector
• May still want to connect ground

1. INT
2. SCL
3. SDA
4. VCC
5. GND

J4 - Address Select

• Sets the I2C offset address of the card
• Three bit address A1, A2

1. A0
2. A1
3. A2
