I have a couple hardware questions about the AFE (Analog Front-End board).

1) What connector type is being used for power? A keyed M8?
2) Which pins should be at what voltages?

Thanks!

    1) yes, 4-pin M8. A datasheet for Shuttler should be complete relatively soon, but in the meantime the design files are available in the AFE repository, if you hadn't found them yet. (I'm afraid I don't know about the voltages.)

        1) Thanks! A datasheet would be much appreciated. Also a part number for the M8 would be helpful. I'm having a hard time finding a mating connector with the right triangular shaped key.
        2) I thought I read somewhere they're +/-15 V and +5V, but I can't find that again. Maybe that's hiding somewhere in those design files? I'll see if I can open them up.

        We'll soon have a EEM card that provides all the required voltages for the AFE with the appropriate cable and connector. Ask sales@m-labs.hk

        I'm going to bench test the shuttler soon, so I've made my own connector. What voltages should the different pins be at?
