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

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

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.
