These are the test points exposing [[MechaCon]]'s UART interface e.g. for [[CDVD Drive]] calibration using PMAP. These test points have also been used by Sony service centers via official service tools. | These are the test points exposing [[MechaCon]]'s UART interface e.g. for [[CDVD Drive]] calibration using PMAP.

To put the console into service mode, the RMC/test mode test point needs to be grounded. This is necessary when recalibrating the drive and doing other stuff. | To put the console into service mode, the RMC/test mode test point needs to be grounded.

*'''RX''' and '''TX''' are sometimes swapped in these pictures. This is due to the contributors not having unified their naming conventions, with some marking RX and TX as seen from the MechaCon's side and others marking RX and TX as seen from the PC's (or it's interface's) side. If you can't establish a connection one way, you should try swapping RX and TX and try again. There are plans for unifying the naming in the future. | *'''RX''' and '''TX''' are sometimes swapped in these pictures.

*The '''3.3V''' marked on most pictures are '''actually 3.5V''', since that's what MechaCon runs off. If you are using e.g. a RS232-to-TTL level shifter (like e.g. a MAX3232-based level shifter), the PS2's 3.5V need to be connected to your level shifter's Vcc. However, it should not be connected to anything that has it's own 3.3V regulator (like e.g. some USB-to-TTL converters), since the regulator on the PS2's board and your converter will end up in a feedback loop, potentially causing damage.
