3.2.1 Indicators
The ED-CM4IND includes two indicators: a red LED for the Power indicator and a green LED for the Status indicator.
- Power Indicator: Used to check the device's power status.
- Status Indicator: Used to check the device's operational status.
| Indicator | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Power | On | The device has been powered on. |
| Blink | Power supply of the device is abnormal, please stop the power supply immediately. | |
| Off | The device is not powered on. | |
| Status | Blink | The system started successfully and is reading and writing data. |
| Off | The device is not powered on or does not read and write data. |
3.2.2 Buttons
The ED-CM4IND includes two buttons: a Reset button and a User button.
3.2.2.1 RESET Button
The Reset button is a hidden button, marked as "Reset" on the case. Pressing the Reset button will reset the device.
3.2.2.2 User Button
The User button is marked as "User" on the case and is connected to the GPIO6 pin of the CM4 chip. By default, it is in a high-level state. When pressed, the pin goes to a low-level state, supporting user-defined functionality.
User Button Pin Definition:
| Pin | Signal | CM4 Pinout |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | User Button | GPIO6 |
3.2.3 ADC
