Table 3-3: pMDDL Pin Description (continued)
All serial communications signals are logic level (0 and 3.3V). DO NOT connect RS-232 level (+12, -
12VDC) signals to these lines without shifting the signals to logic levels.
See Appendix D: Sample Interface Schematic for a sample schematic that can be used to interface to
the pMDDL OEM module.
3.1.9 USB Device Mode
The pMDDL can be set to operate as a USB Device. When set as a USB device, Microhard Composite
Drivers can be installed on a USB Host to provide Ethernet and Serial functionality to the USB port on the
pMDDL. To enable USB Device mode, Pin 14 must be connect to GND through a 1K resistor as shown
below:
Caution: During power up
or reset, output pins from
the Pico are in an unknown
state. It is advised to use
pull up or pull down
resisters as appropriate.
