AsteRx-m OEM LOGLED LVTTL Internal logging status indicator, see Appendix A. Leave unconnected if not used. Max output current: 8mA. Ground. All ground pins must be connected. Pin# Name Type Level Description Connection Tips 3.3V Main power supply input Both Vin pins (pin#1 and pin#2) must be tied +/-5% together. - Page 12 AsteRx-m OEM SPI1_MISO SPI1_SCK SPI1_MOSI SPI1_nCS0 The receiver is compatible with SD cards of up to 32GB. The file system is FAT32. Shortly driving the button pin (pin#25) low toggles SBF and NMEA logging on and off. Driving the button pin low for at least 5 seconds unmounts the SD card if it was mounted, or mounts it if it was unmounted.

Page 20: Appendix Aled Status Indicators
LED Status Indicators Appendix A LED Status Indicators The LED pins report the status of key processes inside the receiver. They can be used to drive external LEDs (max drive current 8mA). It is assumed that the LED lights when the electrical level of the corresponding pin is high. - Page 21 LED Status Indicators The LOGLED reports the SD card mount status and logging activity. LED Behaviour LOGLED LED is off when the external SD card is not present or not mounted. LED is on when the SD card is present and mounted. Short blinks indicate logging activity.
