Hardware specification
Is the spec information of GR-SAKURA and GR-SAKURA-FULL.
- J1: Bypass the reserve current protection diode when using USB 5V supply.
(It avoids diode’s voltage drop. But it may cause a reverse current problem. - J2: V50 in Arduino is connected to 5V output of the regulator. GR-SAKURA has jumper J2 for isolation.
- J3: VIN in Arduino is connected to DC input. GR-SAKURA has jumper J3 for isolation in case of supplying 5V.
- J4: Cut J4 to disconnect AVCC (analog power supply) from VCC (digital power supply).
- J5: During the boot mode,
- USB boot when J5 is set to open
- SCI boot when J5 is set to short-circuited
- J6: Short-circuit this jumper when you want to use boot mode.
(You don’t use this jumper since slide switch SW3 does the same setting.) - J7: Connect DOUT of the XBee module to P52/RXD2 of RX63N
- J8: DIN of the XBee module to P50/TXD of RX63N
- J9: RESET of the XBee module to P51 of RX63N
- J10: RTS of the XBee module to P54 of RX63N
- J11: CTS of the XBee module to PP55 of RX63N
- J12: Connect J12 to have RX63N control the USB-host pull-down registers
- J13: Connect the USB-host pull-down registers to the ground (permanent pull-down)
- J14: Connect J14 to have RX63N control the USB-host pull-down registers
- J15: Connect the USB-host pull-down registers to the ground (permanent pull-down)
(Jumpers J12 – J15 can be set to open in normal use) - J16: Connect Vcc of the XBee module to the 3.3V supply of the GR-SAKURA board.
(The XBee module consumes a large amount of current during it’s reset, causing the GR-SAKURA board being in an unstable operation. This jumper is useful for using an external 3.3V supply dedicated for the XBee module) - J17: This jumper connects RESET of Arduino connector CN14 to the system reset. When a connected Arduino shield outputs the 5V reset signal, it may damage the GR-SAKURA board. Therefore this jumper is set to open in default. Connect this jumper when the connecting shield will output the 3.3V reset signal or the open drain reset signal.

On-board Jumper Setting Description (For more detail, refer to the GR-SAKURA circuit diagram)
When you start using GR-SAKURA with no shield, you don’t need to modify any jumper setting. The jumper setting is required in the following situations: ・When you use the XBee module, short-circuit J7,J8,J9,J10,J11, and J16 |
