Working with EMU Classic
Prerequisites
A UART<>MAX3232 converter is required to connect ApexDuck to the EMU Classic. The EMU Classic uses RS232 signalling on its Extension Port, so the MAX3232 level shifter translates between the dash UART and the EMU's serial port. Without this converter the dash cannot communicate with the EMU Classic.

EMU Configuration
Make sure the EMU Extension Port is configured as EMU serial logger.
Device configuration / top switch
Make sure the top switch is in the EMU position. There is an EMU<>PC label embedded on the back of the dash case. Do NOT switch it while the device is turned on. Turn it off first.
Power the device
Use the bottom USB-C port and the provided USB cable. Connect the other side of the USB cable to a regular car phone charger.
Connecting ApexDuck to EMU Classic
Use the UART port on the board and the provided UART<>RS232 adapter with cable. Connect the other side of the cable (the rounded metal terminal) to the EMU Classic Extension Port.
