Nova Interface Board Overview
3.1
Description
The SkyeModule Nova Interface board was designed with two goals in mind:
1. To provide a simple interface for new customers to test the SkyeModule Nova via various
communication protocols and for various uses.
2. To provide a drop-in-compatible alternative to SkyeTek’s previous flagship UHF module, the
M9-MH. The Nova Interface Board is the same form factor as the SkyeModule M9-MH.

Host Interface Connector Pin Mapping
The Nova Interface Board host connector is a 24-pin through-hole 2mm pitch part. As explained in the
previous section, no connector is populated in location J1 in the standard version SP-IB-NV. The pin
numbers are located as illustrated in Figure 5-1 below. The pin mappings and descriptions are shown in
Table 5-2. Note that all unconnected pins should be left floating.
