Port wiring mBot mCore board

#1

I have just received a mBot from the kickstarter project.
It has an mCore main controller board.
I cannot find the pinouts for the 4 RJ25 ports.
Can anyone help?

I think you can make out the pinout from the RJ25 adapter they have on sale, described here:
http://learn.makeblock.cc/rj25-adapter/

And from the photos here:

Hope that helps

You can find the mCore board schematic on the MakeBlock github. Actually there are 2 different schematics, and since neither them nor the PCB contains any revision marking, you have find out which one fits the board.
https://github.com/Makeblock-official/mBot/blob/master/pcb/mCore.pdf
https://github.com/Makeblock-official/mBot_Firmata/blob/master/hardware/mCore.pdf

The first one is newer and after having a quick look seems to be matching the kickstarter version: it has the 6pin headers next to the RJ25 connectors.

Thanks for the information guys.
All the info is there in your replies (and a lot more)
It will enable me to wire up my own peripherals if required.
In actual fact if I had taken a closer look I would have been able to read the printout on the silk screen printing on the PCB.

Hi,
I am also looking for the schematic, and neither of the links you have above at the GitHub seem to show all components soldered on the board. For instance I was looking for the RGB LED1 and RGB LED2 components but they don’t seem to be in the schematic. Does anybody know where we can get a full schematic and possibly even a layout gerber file? This would be really helpful for adding custom components.
Thanks!
Tim
