B.4. CAMPAC Pin-out Information
It is important to note that CAMPAC Pin-out is reversed from the normal layout you
might expect with Pin 1 on the right hand side (see Figure 81). Also note that the
communication protocol used is I2C.
Figure 81 CAMPAC Pin-Out (Note: Reversed pin numbering)
The CAMPAC Pin-out configuration is:
Pins 7 & 6
= These are directly tied together in the radio and are connected to Ground.
Pins 5 & 4
= These are tied together in the radio and are connected to +5 volts.
Pin 3
= Serial Data clock
Pin 2
= Address / Data IO line
Pin 1
= Unknown (see Note below)
Note: Be careful not to short this Pin 1! It probably enables/disables write protect on the
built in EPROM. This would allow Futaba to put the latest code into a radio without
replacing the surface mounted (SIP) EPROM.
