Connectors tour

JP150PCB 1.3PCB 1.4Jan PřibyslavskýThis page does not apply to the product or PCB revision chosen in the header.

On this page you find every connector and indicator of the board under the name printed next to it, what it is for, which board revision has it, and the link to its pinout. The outline (140 × 105 mm) and the mounting holes are the same on both revisions (Mechanical); PCB 1.4 changed the pin order of a few headers, added the 12 V trigger and a second I2S output, and has no DIP switch.

Indicators

The power LED, the status LED, the DSP LED and the six-LED level meter sit on both revisions; PCB 1.4 adds the CLIP and FAULT LEDs of each power stage, the Bluetooth module's LEDs and the USB-C supply LED. What each shows is on Indicators and LEDs.
