 The Communication module is designed to provide either the wired or wireless communication capabilities. Communication can be established between the controllers, controller and PC, or controller and external device. The Communication module is designed to provide either the wired or wireless communication capabilities. Communication can be established between the controllers, controller and PC, or controller and external device.
  
 The main communication protocol used with this board is a serial interface - UART. The controller module can provide a two channel UART connection, which can be connected to wired RS232 connectors or wireless ZigBee / Bluetooth module. The main communication protocol used with this board is a serial interface - UART.

-The selection is done by on-board dip switches.+The selection is done by on-board DIP switches.
 Simultaneously, it is possible to use two parallel UART connections, but the user can choose (with the selection of switch) where the controller UART signals are routed. It is even possible to mix one UART Rx and Tx signals between different connectors. Simultaneously, it is possible to use two parallel UART connections, but the user can choose (with the selection of switch) where the controller UART signals are routed.

-NB! This communication module is not compatible with the old controller module (Atmega128). In case you are planning to use this communication module and the old controller module, you need to perform a little modification on the controller module. 
- 
-Do not operate the communication module before disconnecting the MAX232 driver on the controller module.

-([[en:hardware:homelab:communication:atmega128mod|See the guide]]) 
- 
-Reason: The communication module version 5 is designed for the controller module version 5. The old controller module has the RS232 interface on the module, and it overdrives the communication module RS232 interface that results in the short circuit.
