Note

• If keep the jumper(RX0、TX1), need unplug the Microduino BT4.0 module when download program, then install it after download.
• If change the jumper, need to change the serial connection between Microduino BT4.0 and Core. Change the connection "TX-RX0、RX-TX1" to following：
  • TX-D2、RX-D3 (Core+'s Serial1)
  • TX-D9、RX-D10 (Call the SoftwareSeria libray to resolve)
