GPIO

 

IO1 

General purpose I/O as found on the embedded EasyVR 3 module 
(referenced at the internal VDD logic level 

– see note below) 

IO2 

IO3 

IO4 

IO5 

IO6 

Note

:  The  General  Purpose  I/O  lines  (IO1-IO6)  are  at  nominal  3.0VDC  level.  Do  not  connect 

higher voltages directly to these pins! 

Mode Jumper settings 

This jumper selects the operating mode of the EasyVR Shield and it can be placed in one of four positions: 

o

 

SW 

– Software Serial mode

 

Use  it  for  controlling  the  EasyVR  module  from  your  Arduino  sketch  through  a  software  serial  port 
(using  pins  12-13).  You  can  also  connect  the  EasyVR  Commander  in  this  mode,  provided  that the 
running sketch implements bridge mode (see the Arduino library examples). 

o

 

HW 

– Hardware Serial mode

 

Use it for controlling the EasyVR module from your Arduino sketch through the hardware serial port 
(using pins 0-1). 

o

 

PC 

– PC Connection mode

 

Use it for direct connection with the EasyVR Commander. In this mode, the Arduino controller is held 
in reset and only the embedded USB/Serial adapter is used. 

o

 

UP 

– Flash Update mode

 

Use it for firmware updates or to download sound table data and custom grammars to the on-board 
flash memory from the EasyVR Commander. In this mode, the Arduino controller is held in reset and 
only the embedded USB/Serial adapter is used. The EasyVR module is set in boot mode. 

o

 

LEO 

– Leonardo Update mode

 

This  is  similar  to  the  regular 

Flash  Update

 

mode,  for  Arduino  boards  that  don’t  have  a  separate 

USB/Serial  adapter,  such  as  Arduino  Leonardo.  The  EasyVR  module  is  set  in  boot  mode,  but  the 
Arduino controller is not reset and it must be running the special “bridge” sketch.
