APPENDIX D. RABBITFLEX KEYPAD/DISPLAY KIT

Rabbit offers a RabbitFLEX Keypad/Display Kit for the RabbitFLEX board that provides the hardware

components required to run the sample programs and to demonstrate the functionality of your keypad/dis-

play design. Table D-1 lists the items in the RabbitFLEX Keypad/Display Kit along with their part num-

bers.

D.1 Keypad

To make the hardware connections between the keypad and the RabbitFLEX board, you will first need:

• One of the cable assemblies from the RabbitFLEX BL300F Tool Kit

• The keypad and the keypad connector from the RabbitFLEX Keypad/Display Kit.

Solder the green wires from the cable assembly to the keypad connector as shown in Figure D.1. Slide the

flexible cable from the keypad into the keypad connector as shown in the diagram and connect the friction-

lock connector of the cable assembly to J5 on the RabbitFLEX board.

D.2 Keypad Template

If you want to label the keypad keys, a piece of paper can be inserted between the two layers of the key-

pad.
