Connecting a PanelDue.
Information for connecting older versions of the PanelDue is available here: DC42's PanelDue web page .
A PanelDue can be connected to connector IO_0 using a 4-core cable wired like the one shown in the
images below. The 4-wire cable supplied with the PanelDue has a 4-way Molex KK connecter on each
end, but is supplied with a 5-way Molex KK connector for use with Duet 3. You will need to rewire one
end. The 4-wire cable does not allow access to the SD card socket on the PanelDue.
NOTE: the Duet 3 pin order in the table below is not the physical order. See the diagram for the physical
pin order.
