is connected by default for on board amplifier and on board mini speaker). If J2 is soldered and used

for audio output selection, JP2 needs to be removed.

This is the interface where the SPI control and data signals are routed. There are also power and

ground pins on this interface. Note J5 is not soldered on the VM800C board by default.

This jumper provides the option to select the power supply voltage for the on-board power amplifier.

The FT800 Programming Guide describes the programming code and formats used by the FT800. The

Sample Application is a well-formatted and documented program that illustrates the Programming Guide,

and provides numerous design examples and reference code demonstrations.

Sample codes and demo applications are provided to users who want to connect VM800C to a MCU. FTDI

provides sample source code, Sample Application notes (AN_246) and a ready to run demo based on

Application note, AN_246, provides a reference guide for utilizing the VM800C development systems with

the Sample Application software and Arduino Pro platform.
