Pinout and Hardware Design Notes

The following pinout is used in the RapidHA Lighting firmware. The Z357PA40 module pad numbers are shown in brackets:

  • PB3 (Pad 5): Relay Control. Will be driven high (logic level 1) when the light should be on and low when the light should be off.
  • PB4 (Pad 6): PWM signal (can be converted to 0-10V with an additional circuit)
  • PA5 (Pad 9): Network Status Indicator LED. **A transistor circuit is required to ensure that this pin is held high at startup. This pin assignment will be changing. See the note on the "PA5 Protection Circuit" page.
  • PA6 (Pad 16): Button for factory reset (by driving this pin low for >5 seconds)

The following pins can be used for serial communication with a Host microcontroller:

  • PB1 (Pad 17): UART TX
  • PB2 (Pad 15): UART RX

PA5 Protection Circuit

Pin PA5 on the EM357 has a built-in function defined by Silicon Labs; if it is held low at startup, the EM357 will enter bootload mode.  MMB is in the process of updating the pinout to use a different pin that is available on our new Z357PA40 module. Until the new firmware implementing a different pinout is released, it is necessary to add the “protection circuit” shown below. R1 and R2 must have the same resistance.
