Page 9: Uart Communication
3. UART Communication The TeraRanger Neo ES is controlled through a UART interface. 3.1. UART pinout The UART interface uses a single 4 pin Molex connector for interfacing to the host system. The mating connector is a Molex - CONN HEADER SMD 4POS 1.25MM. Please consider the mechanical stability of the mated connectors and avoid any kind of excess force on the connector (during installation and once integrated). -
