The RS232 port can be used to feed the SOUND4 device with RDS UECP commands.
Only the RXD/TXD signals are used for UECP, there is no handshaking : the CTS/RTS are not used
Connector
The DB25-M GPIO+RS232 is compatible with the V.24 standard, "DTE" side, meaning that it's the same as a computer-side connector.
Consequently when connecting a computer to the SOUND4 device, you have to use a Null Modem (cross cable).
So if your PC COM is male SUBD-9, the connection must be at minimum :
- PC COM DB9M TXD (pin 3) must go to (pin 3) DB25M RS_RXD
- PC COM DB9M RXD (pin 2) must go to (pin 2) DB25M RS_TXD
- PC COM DB9M GND (pin 5) must go to (pin 1) DB25M GND
(see Null_modem wiring diagram)
(Optionally other V24 signals can be connected (CTS, RTS, CD, DSR, DTR) so a fully wired branded Null-Modem cable or adapter should work)
Notes :
- the RS232 output voltage is approx. ±6V. Full ±12V is accepted at input.
- the output RS_TXD pin is not active (so is 0V instead of +6V) until there is activity on RS_RXD pin.
