Connecting the Hardware
A power supply is required with a standard 2.1mm barrel connector. It can be AC (7 -
12V) or DC (9 - 15V). The connector is inserted into the power connection socket as
shown above.
The programming lead supplied is fitted into the Dongle case and the other end is
inserted into the programming interface on the board as shown.
The Dongle case is connected to one of the printer ports on the PC. If this is not LPT1,
then you will need to change the printer port setting in the software—see software sec-
tion for details.
