An external input device is any kind of sensor that you're connecting to the board - sort of the opposite of the trimpot, which is on the board itself, so it's...
Hi Robert - it is indeed possible to access the RS232 interface. It's brought out on thru-hole pads just beneath the JTAG connector. Firmware for that has not...
