Hardware Notes


Power Plug

The Minnowboard Max uses a 5V power plug, and if bundled will ship with a 2.5A power supply. It is a Center Positive power supply, indicating that the center (tip) of the output plug is positive (+), the outer barrel is negative (-).
Center Positive 5V connector

Serial Console

The serial console port uses a 3.3v FTDI serial cable with a 6-pin connector. This is a reasonably common cable, also used on the Arduino Pro, Arduino Pro Mini and Arduino Lilypad.
  • Pin 1: Ground (GND) (Furthest from SATA connector)
  • Pin 2: CTS
  • Pin 3: VCC (3.3V)
  • Pin 4: TXD
  • Pin 5: RXD
  • Pin 6: RTS

HDMI

The MinnowMax uses a Type D micro-HDMI connector. This is a standard port, for which cables and adapters can be readily picked up from most electronics stores

Low Speed Expansion (Top)

*** THIS IS PRE-PRODUCTION INFORMATION AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BEFORE PRODUCTION SHIPPING ***

The low speed connector uses 0.1" (2.54 mm) Male header pins in a 2 x 13 array, for a total of 26 pins. Pin 1 is the in the row closest to the power connector, and closest to the board edge.
