RESET NORMAL WNA Reset Figure 19: CEL MeshConnect ISP / WNA USB Dongle (Outside) ISP NORMAL PIN #1 WNA ISP Figure 20: CEL MeshConnect ISP / WNA USB Dongle (Inside) ISP Target Interface The target connection interface is configured to supply 3.0 Volts to the target and meant for direct connections to the MeshConnect IC or module pins. Interfacing directly to an RS‐232 line driver IC will not work and will most likely damage the MeshConnect ISP / WNA USB dongle. Prior to programming, it is strongly advised that any circuitry on the target board’s UART1 or GPIO pins be isolated. Pin #1 on the connector is found on the RED side of the target cable.
