Features

If you power the AXA Remote using batteries you can connect the Serial 3.3 or 5 Volts to position 1 or 6 of the RJ25 connector, ground to position 2 or 5 of the RJ25 connector and RX/TX to position 3 or 4.

If you power the AXA Remote with the additional external power adapter you can use a LIN-bus controller to act as a level converter.
