Power & communication
1.
By default, the BitPipe™ serial port is attached to Arduino serial port (0 & 1) through jumper J20 pins
3-4 and 5-6. This connection is the primary method of communicating commands and data from the
Arduino board to the BitPipe™.
2.
If you wish to power the Arduino board from the same supply as the BitPipe™ shield, closing jumper
J3 will deliver power to the Arduino’s RAW input. When powering the Arduino board from a different
supply,
including a USB cable
, jumper J3 must be open.
3.
Insert power supply 9V DC connector into the BitPipe™ shield and plug the power adapter into a
suitable AC mains receptacle. A green LED (D1) should turn on nearby the top left corner of the shield,
indicating power is available to the board.
