= Tips, Tricks, Caveats =

FEL mode
The Mele A1000 can be put into FEL mode by shorting jumper 11K1. This has not been verified to work on the M3.

= Adding a serial port (voids warranty) =



Device disassembly
Turn off 2 screws at top corners of back side. Then remove plastic cover.

Locating the UART
The Mele M3 has a 4 pin 2.0 pitch JST-xH connector available for its UART0 port (same as Mele A1000). This is the same as some 90s analog audio cables which ran from a CDROM to the sound card. More information is available at our UART howto.

Do not connect VCC (right from TX pin). If you use dupont cables, you should remove plastic isolation from ground connector, so these cables can be plugged in.
