GPIO Mode
The GPIO of MP-UB21-3.2 have two modes: PULSE mode(default) and LEVEL mode.
-
The GPIN pulse mode is the factory default. Each transition from HIGH to LOW on GPIN pin will force a PC change. See the following picture for the explanation of the mode.
-
The GPIN level mode uses a level “0” (short to ground) and “1” (open or voltage higher than threshold) to select a specific HOST.
A level “0” or short to ground: HOST2 is selected.
A level “1” or open: HOST1 is selected.
NOTE: In Level mode, can’t switch hosts by pressing button
