Jumper Configurations
Jumper J1 is used to enable the software reset for the ModFLEX module. When this is
enabled (moved to the position connecting pins 2 and 3) digital pin 6 (D6) on the Arduino
Duemilanove controls the reset signal of the ModFLEX module. When using the
software reset capability, D6 on the Duemilanove needs to be configured as a digital
output and be set high for normal operation. Resetting the ModFLEX module is
accomplished by setting D6 low for a couple of milliseconds, and then setting it back
high.
The software reset is being used for the demo application provided, and as such J1 pins
2 and 3 should be jumpered.
J2 and J3 are responsible for determining which mode of UART the Duemilanove uses
to communicate with the ModFLEX module on the ModFLEX Shield. When the
ModFLEX Shield is configured to use hardware UART mode (J2 and J3 moved to the
positions connecting pins 1 and 2) the Duemilanove will use its designated UART RX
and TX pins (D0 and D1 respectively) to communicate with the ModFLEX module.
When it is desired to use software UART mode, digital pins 7 (D7) and 8 (D8) will be the
RX and TX UART signals respectively.
When using hardware UART mode, the J2 and J3 jumpers must be removed when
uploading software to the Duemilanove. The reason for this is that the hardware UART
is used by the Arduino bootloader.
For the demo application software UART mode is used, and as such jumpers J2 and J3
should be connected between pins 1 and 2.
