Configure Raspbian for Raspberry Pi 3 to use Digital Logic shield with µFR Reader RS232

Last Updated: November 1, 2022

Configure Raspbian for Raspberry Pi 3 to use Digital Logic shield with µFR Reader RS232 Preface Digital Logic shield with µFR Reader RS232 The Shield ​is​​ peace​​ of​​ hardware​​ for ​​simplified ​​interconnection ​​between ​​µFR Reader RS232 devices,​ such as the µFR Nano RS232 and µFR Classic CS RS232 reader model, ​​and any ​​Raspberry​ ​Pi ​​version​.  DL​shield ​​uses​ ​pins ​​8 (GPIO14) ​​and ​​10​ ​(GPIO15)​​ of​​ the ​​GPIO ​​header ​​for ​​UART​ ​communication ​​and pins ​​16​ (GPIO23)​ for​​ resetting​​ the ​​µFR Reader. GPIO​ serial ​​port ​​(​mini​-UART)​ is ​​​disabled ​​by ​​default​. It has to be ​​enabled ​for ​​the device’s full functionality. uFCoder ​library ​​version ​​4​.2.7 ​and ​​later ​​support ​​DL​​ Shields ​​on ​​Raspbian​. Caution The RPi’s serial port (and all other GPIO’s) operate at 3.3V power only. Connecting them to a 5V source will damage your RPi.
