Yeah, I just saw that on the photograph. Although four pins could also be JTAG (TCK, TDI, TDO, TMS, with GND being somewhere else). Check the connections with a continuity tester. --- End quote --- Could be an serial or jtag port, as written check for a ground pin and an 5v or 3.3vdc pin .... and do a continuity check to the voltages regulators once you find the main ones ... And the 5 pins white header near the 4 pins ??? what does it do ? |

LDO = low dropout, used to describe a linear regulator which can work in environments where there is a low differential between input and output. |

Wow, thanks so much guys! Its getting very exciting. I shall take a picture first thing in the morning when I get into the shop and upload it here. |

Here are some close up photos of the connectors. |
