UART setting jumpers
WIFI module and XBee module communicate with atmega32u4 via UART,as they cannot use the same serial port for communication, there are two sets of UART setting jumpers to configure UART communication as below:
D0 and D1 are hardware UART serial ports for Arduino, and D11 and D12 are common IO interfaces. There are two ways to set UART communication.

Indicator
- PWR
Power indicator: normally ON indicates normal power supply to WBoard EX.
- W_PWR
Power indicator: normally ON indicates normal power supply to WIFI module.
- D13
Test indicator: it will flash like a breathing light when resetting.
- TXD
USB serial port sending indicator: it will flash when there is data sending at USB serial port.
- RXD
USB serial port receiving light: it will flash when there is data receiving at USB serial port.
Button
- Reset
ATmega32u4 reset button: press the button to reset ATmega32u4.
- WIFI_RST
WIFI reset button: press the button to reset WIFI module.
- XBee_RST
XBee reset button: press the button to reset XBee module.
Switch
- Transparent transmission selection switch
When the switch turns to ‘Normal’, module is powered on but will not enter transparent transmission mode; when the switch turns to ‘Transparent’, the module is powered on and will enter transparent transmission mode.
