8.2.2. User buttons
The active-low buttons could be used for user defined inputs. The button [SW1] is controlled
by two different pins, which are connected by assembling the 0 ohms resistor [R68] or [R69].
The placement depends on the platform and is the result of the support of different radio
modules. The concerning pin of button 1 is used by the ARM based dresden elektronik radio
module to support the ethernet interface. The pin of button 2 can only be used, if the interrupt
feature of the acceleration sensor BMA150 is disabled.
Button 1 [SW1] on deRFnode:
Pin 20
Button 1 [SW1] on deRFgateway:   Pin 14
Button 2 [SW2]:
Pin 29 by setting jumper [JP1] to pin 1 and 2.

8.3.    USB interface
Regarding the USB interface, the platforms deRFnode and deRFgateway come in two differ-
ent flavours. The deRFgateway USB interface can only be accessed over native USB of the
ARM based dresden elektronik radio modules. The deRFnode platform is offered in two vari-
ants. One with native USB for deRFarm7 radio module and another variant with an USB se-
rial converter for deRFmega128 radio modules.
