2.3.3 Connect Power
When all other connections have been made, you can connect power to the Jackrabbit.
Hook up the connector from the wall transformer to header J1 on the Jackrabbit board as
shown in Figure 4. The orientation of this connector is not important since the VIN (posi-
tive) voltage is the middle pin, and GND is available on both ends of the three-pin header J1.
Plug in the wall transformer. The Jackrabbit board and the Prototyping Board are ready to
be used.
NOTE:
A
RESET
button is provided on the Prototyping Board (see Figure 3) to allow
hardware reset without disconnecting power.
To power down the Jackrabbit, unplug the power connector from J1. You should discon-
nect power before making any circuit adjustments in the prototyping area, changing any
connections to the board, or removing the Jackrabbit from the Prototyping Board.
2.3.3.1 Overseas Development Kits
Development kits sold outside North America include a header connector that may be
connected to 3-pin header J1 on the Jackrabbit. The connector may be attached either way
as long as it is not offset to one side. The red and black wires from the connector can then
be connected to the positive and negative connections on your power supply. The power
supply should deliver 7.5 V–25 V DC at 5 W.
