4  Reset to Factory Defaults 
It is possible to reset the PD-1141 to factory default settings without establishing a communication link. 
This  might  be  helpful  in  case  communication  parameters  of  the  preferred  interface  have  been  set  to 
unknown values or got accidentally lost. 
For this procedure two pads on the bottom side of the board have to be shortened. 
Now, perform the following steps: 
1.  Power supply off and USB cable disconnected 
2.  Short two pads as marked in Figure 4.1 
3.  Power up board (power via USB is sufficient for this purpose) 
4.  Wait until the on-board red and green LEDs start flashing fast (this might take a while) 
5.  Power-off board (disconnect USB cable) 
6.  Remove short between pads 
7.  After  switching  on  power-supply  /  connecting  USB  cable  all  permanent  settings  have  been 
restored to factory defaults 
Short these two pads

5  On-Board LED 
The board offers an LED in order to indicate board status. The function of the LED is dependent on the 
firmware version. With standard TMCL firmware the green LED should be flashing  slowly during 
operation. When there is no valid firmware programmed into the board or during firmware update the 
green LED is permanently on.
