Embedded Mesh Rider Radio Evaluation Kit
The Embedded Mesh Rider Radio Evaluation Kit uses the same PCB as the External Radio with the following important changes.
- In Fig. 1, (i) the reset button is not connected to the Mesh Rider Radio. Use the pin-hole reset on the Mesh Rider Radio instead.
- In the AUX1 Connector (d), pins 1 and 2 use 0V - +3.3V TTL signalling levels instead of RS232.
