Table 3-3: pMDDL5824 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 pMDDL5824 OEM module.
3.1.4 USB Device Mode
The pMDDL5824 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 pMDDL5824. To enable USB Device mode, Pin 72 must be connected 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.
