Re: analog breakout wiring

OK, I don't have an analog board in front of me, but I know that the Analog_breakout.pdf on the KOP refers to last years' board, so maybe the labeling of the pins has changed. Let's see if we can clear this up.

If you're looking at the analog breakout so that the silkscreen writing on the blue cover is facing you and the DB25 connector is facing down, you have from the left:

3 exposed pins, presumably labeled J4. Jumper the left and middle pins to enable battery monitoring. Jumper the middle and right pins to disable battery monitoring and enable analog input 8. Do not connect power to any of these pins.

8 sets of three pins protected behind the blue shield, labeled J2. These are your 8 analog inputs. Input number 8 (the left-most one) is not available for use when the battery-monitor jumper is connected between the left-most two pins of J4.

2 pins inside a grey Wago connector, this is J3. Use a small Wago connector to supply power from the PD board to these pins, they are labeled for polarity.

Hope this helps!
