This is an alternative 1200055 in order to get your Arduino
(or some other PIC)
linked to your networking (ethernet) - make use of an previous NSLU2!

The NSLU2 and Arduino both talk TTL, but the NSLU2 is 3.3v and Arduino is 5v. User-friendly mend - convey a resistor!

Only 3 cables are required - pins 2, 4 and 3 with the NSLU2. You do not are going to hook up
the flexibility pin.
Each the dining room table just
below, check out the whitened stripe - that is the
potency pin.

NSLU2 - pin-from the J2 serial harbour

Pin 1 - 3.3v, pin 1 provides a vivid white stripe near to it

Pin 2 - RXD, be given from Arduino
to NSLU2 (must-have resistor)

Pin 3 - TXD, transfer from NSLU2 to Arduino

Pin 4 - GND, soil association

This article is printed in guide from the "Freeduino" - a BBB (bare our bones table) sort. Ensure things are all run out of and unplugged. Then, link the TTL pins branded "RX", "TX" and "GND" in
the BBB of the correct pins about the NSLU2. The Four serial dock TTL pins about the NSLU2 are visible just beneath the battery to
the right.

You must website a 10k resistor relating to the
Arduino additionally the NSLU2 on pin 2 of your NSLU2 consequently the
5v coming from the Arduino are diminished to risk-free levels.

Now power up in the NSLU2 and Arduino which can be flased with Debian (SlugOS will work also). Put in minicom (appropriate-get) and start up minicom and set the serial harbour tottyS0 and 9600, 8N1.

If the connections are correct, the TTL pins/port on the Arduino and NSLU2 are functional you should now see the output
from the Arduino. Be sure you have pre-programmed your Arduino with a program that outputs text
at the proper baud rate if you do not see anything. Also have a go with powering off of both equally units, drive back and attempt once again. It is possible the
serial port will not work if you have made other hardware mods such as overclocking on the NSLU2.

It is best to internet site a 10k resistor relating to the
Arduino in addition to NSLU2 on pin 2 associated with
the NSLU2 consequently the
5v coming from the Arduino are diminished to safer levels.

Now electric power the Arduino and NSLU2 that has been flased with Debian (SlugOS will deliver the results also). Fit minicom (apt-get) and commence up minicom and set the serial port to9600 and
ttyS0, 8N1.

If the connections are correct, the TTL pins/port on the Arduino and NSLU2 are functional you should now see the output
from the Arduino. Be sure you have pre-programmed your Arduino with a program that outputs text
at the proper baud rate if you do not see anything. Also attempt driving away from at the same time products, potential backup and try once more. If you have made
other hardware mods such as overclocking on the NSLU2, it is possible the serial port will not work.
