=Making an RS232 level converter for the Pandora=<br />
How is this done?<br />
<br />
=Pinouts=<br />
Here's a list of pinouts for the various connectors and boards.<br />
<br />
Here's a pic of the board, some of the pinouts can be seen on it. [http://pandorapress.net/files/2010/02/rev5.jpg]<br />
<br />
==Ext Connector==<br />
''What does it have?''<br />
* UART2<br />
* UART3<br />
* TV out<br />
* Stereo line out<br />
* Stereo line in<br />
* The UART lines can also be used as GPIO (six of them) and PWM lines (four of them).<br />
<br />
<br />
''What is the pinout?''<br />
<br />
* The pinout of the [http://s198.photobucket.com/albums/aa99/MWeston_2007/?action=view&current=cable_connector.png Ext Connector]<br />
<br />
''Where can we get the connectors from?''<br />
<br />
==Battery==<br />
3.7V <br />
Lithium polymer single cell battery<br />
4000 mAH<br />
4 AH<br />

<br />
==Internal connections==<br />
<br />
===LCD===<br />
* LTPS (8-bit parallel input for R, G and B, with separate horizontal and vertical sync)<br />
* 3.3V?<br />
* TD043MTEA2 [http://beyondinfinite.com/lcd/Library/Toppoly/TD043MTEA2.pdf datasheet]<br />
<br />
===UART===<br />
* UART2 and 3 are available via the EXT connector, and via internal solder pads on the latest revision<br />
** UART2 appears to support hardware flow control with RTS/CTS lines<br />
<br />
===GPIO===<br />
* 6 are available on the EXT connector<br />
* ''Are there any internal?''<br />
<br />
===Battery===<br />
===JTAG===<br />
<br />
===I<sup>2</sup>C===<br />
* One at 1.8V from the OMAP (board label I2C3-1V8)<br />
* One at 2.8V (board label I2C3-2V8)<br />
<br />
=== USB ===<br />
* No internal USB ports<br />
<br />
===Keypad backlight===<br />
Maximum current draw?<br />
<br />
==Breakout Board==<br />
[[Image:Breakoutboard.jpg|thumb|alt=Developer's breakout board|Developer's breakout board]]<br />
This is the breakout board used by Pandora team members during development. Only a small number were made, and they are not available to the public. However a similar product (or gerber files) may be released in the future. A schematic for this board is available here: http://openpandora.ca/schematic/AV_Board_schematic.pdf<br />
