Parallax P2 Edge Module - User Guide

12. Optional 6 way Header Pads (Customer Option)

These six 0.1” spaced pads connect to the Programming pads and 5V Power pads at the edge

connector, and may be used to provide power and to program the P2 Edge Module with a Prop

Plug programming tool (#32201). A suitable header from Samtec: TSM-106-01-F-SH.

Programming Header Pads

Marked △ ▽ RESn GND, the programming pins are compatible with the Parallax Prop Plug

programming tool (#32201). The P2 Edge Module can also be programmed through the edge

connector, but for customers that would like to use an existing Prop Plug (or similar)

programming method, these pads provide a convenient option. Refer to Programming Header

Pin Assignments for more information.

Power Header Pads

Marked GND and 5V, these 0.1” spaced pads connect directly to the 5V power rail to provide a

convenient power source for customer expansion. These 5V and GND pads may be used to

connect a power source to power the P2 Edge Module PCB, instead of using the edge connector.

In this case, the supply voltage range can be 4.5V to 5.5V, and MUST NOT exceed 5.5V!

Warning! DO NOT connect a power source to both the edge connector and power

header 5V pads at the same time! Users wanting to use this functionality should

refer to the P2 Edge Module schematic and proceed at their own risk.
