Jump pins OUT to GPIO# to connect M6e GPIO lines to output LEDs. Jump pins IN to GPIO# to connect
M6e GPIO to corresponding input switches SW[3-6]GPIO#. Make sure GPIO lines are correspondingly
configured as input or outputs (see
).
J14
Can be used to connect GPIO lines to external circuits. If used jumpers should be removed from J10, J11,
J13, J15.
J16
Jump pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 to reset development kit power supply. Same as using switch SW1 except
allows for control by external circuit.
J17
Jump pins 1 and 2 to use the 5V INPUT and GND inputs to provide power. Jump pins 2 and 3 to use the
development kitʼs DC power jack and power brick power.
J19
Jump SHUTDOWN to GND to enable module. While grounded SHUTDOWN pushbutton (SW2) will break
circuit and shutdown the M6e. See

Demo Application
A demo application which supports multi-protocol reading and writing is provided in the MercuryAPI SDK
package and as a standalone application. Both are available from the
. The
executable for this example is included in the MercuryAPI SDK package under /cs/samples/exe/Universal-
Reader-Assistant.exe.
NOTE: The Universal Reader Assistant included in the MercuryAPI SDK maybe an older revision than
the one available for standalone download.
See the Readme.txt in /cs/samples/Universal-Reader-Assistant/Universal-ReaderAssistant for usage
details.
See the
for details on using the MercuryAPI.
Notice on Restricted Use of the Development Kit
The Developers Kit (Dev Kit) is intended for use solely by professional engineers for the purpose of
evaluating the feasibility of applications.
The user’s evaluation must be limited to use within a laboratory setting. This Dev Kit has not been certified
for use by the FCC in accordance with Part 15 of the FCC regulations, ETSI, KCC or any other regulatory
bodies and may not be sold or given for public use.
