Flash the front LED green and orange to identify the server
Set the GPIO pin (1-4) to the desired state (0 = off, 1 = on)
Set the GPIO pins to the desired bit pattern (0-255). 0 sets all
pins low, 248 sets all available pins high, 176 sets pins 2, 3 high
and 1, 4 low
Set the GPIO pin (1-4) to be an input pin
Set the GPIO pin (1-4) to be an output pin
Physical connections
Pico servers with opto-isolated GPIO (serial numbers above 4600)
These have their GPIO wired as below, with 3 × I/O opto-isolated connections.
Specification
·
Voltage triggered level switching IO
·
V (both Vcc and signal) max, 5 V. 3.3 V compliant so you can use either.
·
Min Vcc is 3 V.
·
I source 35 mA normal, 100 mA max.
·
Max 400 pF output impedance.
·
All data lines are weak pulled up to Vcc with 1 K resistors to allow for bidirectional switching.
