3.4 Expansion Interfaces

The following interfaces allow for expandability of the TWR-RF-SNAP.

TWPRI Connector:

- Freescale standard connector for General Purpose Tower Plug-ins (TWRPIs)
- Allows for plug-in of several different sensors – ex.TWRPI-MMA7660 Accelerometer
- Interfaces to sensors via I
- See figure below for specific pin-out (J15 is the right connector, while J14 is the left connector)

UART1 (SNAP UART0):

- Connected to Physical Pins 36-37 – SNAP GPIO 14-15
- RX = Pin 37/GPIO_15, TX = 36/GPIO_14
- This serial port attaches to edge-connectors (elevator) for communication with other devices
within the Tower System

UART2 (SNAP UART1):

- USB connected to UART2 of the system (Physical Pins 21, 23-25) - SNAP GPIO 21-18
- RTS = Pin_21/GPIO_21, CTS= 23/GPIO_20, RX = 24/GPIO_19 , TX = 25/GPIO_18
- Used to upload firmware, factory default the SNAP settings, or erase a script (via Portal)
- Connected to the USB port
