Configure Raspbian for Raspberry Pi 3 to use Digital Logic shield with µFR Reader RS232
Last Updated: November 1, 2022Configure 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. DLshield 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. Enable GPIO serial port $sudo rspi-config Change password Enable SSH (Interfacing Option > SSH) Enable Serial port (Interfacing Option > Serial) Disable Serial Console (Interfacing Option > Serial) Reboot Test Test Linux configuration $ ls -l /dev/serial* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov 21 07:54 /dev/serial0 -> ttyS0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Nov 21 07:54 /dev/serial1 -> ttyAMA0 $ ls - l /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw----1rootdialout4,64Nov2107:54/dev/ttyS0 $groups piadmdialoutcdromsudoaudiovideoplugdevgamesusersinputnetdevgpioi2cspi...
