	43	+**Internal Serial Connection**
	44	+
	45	+In this mode, the board is effectively a "peripheral". In order to respond to LSS commands, it needs to be running appropriate code, or the default Lss2IO Arduino sample program. The pinout is as follows:
	46	+
	47	+* ATMega328P's Tx pin (D1) is connected to the LSS Tx line through a [[tri-state buffer (IC3)>>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-state_logic||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] that can be enabled or disabled with pin D14.
	48	+* ATMega328P's Rx pin (D0) is connected to the LSS Rx line.
	49	+
	50	+Therefore data that is sent from an external UART device will be received on the LSS Rx line and the ATMega328P Rx pin. The LSS 2IO USB-to-Serial IC Tx is connected to the ATMega328P Rx (pin D0) through another [[tri-state buffer (IC4)>>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-state_logic||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] that can be enabled/disabled with pin D7. The Lss2IO Arduino code inherently takes care of managing the pins D14 and D7 as follows :
	51	+
	52	+* **D7 **is LOW**: **to disconnect LSS 2IO USB-to-Serial IC Tx from ATMega328P Rx (pin D0) allowing the ATMega328P to receive data from the UART controller device as LSS 2IO USB-to-Serial IC Tx is HIGH when LSS 2IO is powered.
	53	+* **D14** is HIGH**:** when the 2IO Board is sending data on the LSS Tx line to an external UART device Rx pin. LSS Tx line is asserted to the 2IO Tx pin :

	57	+* **D14 **is LOW**:** when the 2IO Board is not sending data on the LSS Tx line. The 2IO frees up the LSS Tx line to avoid bus congestion (when 2 devices sends data at the same time) :
