Hook up the connector from the AC adapter to header J1 on the Jackrabbit board as shown in Figure 2. The orientation of this connector is not important since the VIN (positive) voltage is the middle pin, and GND is available on both ends of the
Plug in the AC adapter. The Jackrabbit board and the Prototyping Board are ready to be used.
NOTE: A RESET button is provided on the Prototyping Board (see Figure 1) to allow hardware reset without disconnecting power.
To power down the Jackrabbit, unplug the power connector from J1. You should discon- nect power before making any circuit adjustments in the prototyping area, changing any connections to the board, or removing the Jackrabbit from the Prototyping Board.
