5. Serial port connector
In APRS Voyager the MINI DIN 6pin female connector is used for single RS-232
serial port and 5V voltage output.
MINI DIN 6pin connector pins description:
•
Pin 6 – not used
•
Pin 4 – RS-232 Port 2 TXD,
•
Pin 2 – GND,
•
Pin 1 – 5V output, do not short-circuit, max. current 100mA,
•
Pin 3 – hard-wired to negative voltage for WS-2300/WS-2350 weather station
support,
•
Pin 5 – RS-232 Port 2 RXD.
RS-232 Port 2 functions are selectable in software.
APRS Voyager incorporates only one RS-232 serial interface (contrary to PLXTracker or
PLXDigi), located on „RS-232 port 2” pins (port 1 is internally occupied by Bluetooth
interface).
If you wish to use a weather station, serial console, etc., you will need a different set of
serial cables than for PLXTracker or PLXDigi.
