This Appendix contains pin-out and electrical specifications for the external and internal ports and connectors on the
SH2-based microcontroller for the Pioneer 3, PeopleBot and PowerBot, including motor-power interface and User
Control boards.
Note that layered connectors are numbered differently, depending on the socket type. IDC ones are odd and even
layers; microfit connectors use successive-position numbering. See the Figures nearby for examples.
