6.1. LED Headers (J2, J3)
Connectors J2 and J3 are provided to allow access to the GPIO pins on the CP2104. Place shorting blocks on J2
and J3 to connect the GPIO pins to the four green LEDs DS0–DS3. These LEDs can be used to indicate active
communications through the CP2104. Table 1 shows the LED corresponding to each header position.
6.2. Universal Serial Bus (USB) Interface (P1)
A Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector (P1) is provided to facilitate connections to the USB interface on the
CP2104. See Table 2 for the USB pin definitions.
