What does it have?
- UART2
- UART3
- TV out
- Stereo line out
- Stereo line in
- The UART lines can also be used as GPIO (six of them) and PWM lines (four of them).
Note that Power Out defaults to 2.8V, while the digital I/O lines work with 1.8V logic. To avoid damaging the Pandora, a level shifter will be required for most applications using these signals.
Connectors
Just for reference: the Pandora-side of the connector is Tyco 1717312-1, you already have that. [1]
Astron Connector
- Astron, part number 3111014-301-R
- Available from DragonBox for 7 EUR each [2]
Tyco Connector
- Tyco Electronics, part number 1717169-2 [3]
- The manufacturer does *not* stock these for engineering samples, and very few vendors carry them
- Community member WizardStan ordered a bunch and sold them for $2 each plus shipping from Canada [4]
- Community members peca and Nardella designed and manufactured a break-out-board for easier soldering [5]
Configuration
How Do I Make a TV-Out Cable?
- There are some useful tips in the EXT Connectors thread.
- A guide explaining one way of creating the video cables can be found here
- MarkoeZ Has written a blog post about it here
