Data Sheet

Example pin configuration settings for a Tic Stepper Motor Controller.

To the right of each pin name is a drop-down box where you can assign a function to the pin. Each pin

function is documented below.

Pin function: Default

By default, each pin’s function is set to “Default”. This means that the Tic will automatically choose

the pin’s function and choose the related options (Pull-up, Active high, Analog) based on the “Control

mode”, as shown in the table below.

Note that the TX and RX pins are always pulled up, and the RC pin is always pulled down.

When a pin’s function is “Default”, the Tic Control Center disables the checkboxes for the Pull-up,

Active high, and Analog options because they will have no effect. However, the states of those

checkboxes will still be saved to the Tic.
