[hpsdr] J16 confusion

J16 pin numbering confusion.

I still hear from users confused by the J16 schematic numbering scheme 
on both the Hermes, Angelia board KEYED IDC connectors and the Apache 
Labs ANAN-100 and ANAN-100D DB25 accessory port.  Many of these users 
are using breakout boards with KEYED 26 pin IDC connectors and they 
cannot understand why the pinout on these boards differs from the  J16 
pinout found on the Hermes and Angelia schematics.

Both the assembled TAPR and Apache Labs Hermes boards were built with a 
26 pin KEYED IDC connector installed on board, designated J16 on the 
schematics. IDC Pin 1 is clearly indicated on the top of the installed 
KEYED 26 pin IDC connector.  Unfortunately, J16 KEYED IDC pin 1 actually 
corresponds with J16 pin 26 on the Hermes and Angelia schematics, hence 
the confusion for users who use KEYED industry standard IDC connectors 
for interconnection purposes.

Some time ago Kjell explained how the pin numbering confusion occurred,  
Nuff said about that.  Hopefully, the following will lessen some 
confusion.  BTW, much of the following information is from the ANAN-10 
and ANAN-100 user docs.  RTFM for more details.

Hermes_User_Manual_V1.17.pdf includes the following J16 note on page 14:
IMPORTANT NOTE: The pin numbers may NOT correspond to individual cables 
within an IDC
ribbon cable. In particular, ex PC IDC cables do NOT match the pin-outs 
shown in the photo.

Clearly, the J16 pin numbers on the schematic WILL NOT correspond to pin 
numbers of any KEYED 26 pin IDC connector a user may install in J16.

  The following information details the correlation between the J16 pin 
numbers on the Hermes and Angelia schematics and pin numbers found on a 
standard 26 pin KEYED IDC connector.

Note: The ANAN-100 and ANAN-100D further confuse the issue by using a 
DB25 female connector for the Accessory port (J16) and this changes the 
pinout yet again!  See listing below the Hermes/Angelia J16 pinout for 
details.

The PowerSDR Setup, ANAN Ctrl tab numbering scheme for the J16 Receive 
and transmit pins does not represent the actual keyed IDC pin numbers.

The Apache Labs ANAN-100 and ANAN-100D Accessory Port/J16/DB25 numbering 
confusion:

The Hermes/Angelia schematic detail J16 pin numbering does not 
correspond to KEYED IDC ribbon cable numbering conventions. An IDC to 
DB25 adapter cable further re-arranges the pin numbers available on the 
rear panel Accessory Port of the ANAN-100 and ANAN-100D. J16-26 ANALOG 3 
user input is lost, but it is not presently supported by PowerSDR in any 
case.
