Power

  • 5.0V - Connected to the display backlight
  • 3.3V - Connected to the display power and also the STEMMA QT / Qwiic connector
  • GND - Ground for everything

Display

The display is a 1.54" wide-angle TFT LCD.

  • MOSI, SCK, GPIO #25, CE0 - These are the display control pins. Note that MISO is not connected, even though it is an SPI pin, because you cannot read back from the display.
  • GPIO #26 - This is the display backlight pin. Used to turn on and off the backlight.

Buttons and Joystick

These pins have a 10K pullup to 3.3V so when the button is pressed or the joystick is moved/pressed, you will read a LOW voltage on these pins.

  • GPIO#17 - Button
  • GPIO #16 - Joystick select
  • GPIO #22 - Joystick left
  • GPIO #23 - Joystick up
  • GPIO #24 - Joystick right
  • GPIO #27 - Joystick down

Sound

  • GPIO #18, GPIO#19, GPIO #20, GPIO #21 - I2S Digital Audio.
  • Speakers - The two speaker connectors are located on the bottom in the middle, labeled Right and Left. Plug in an enclosed speaker or  use a JST 2PH cable to attach custom speakers.
  • Microphones - The two mics are in the middle of each side, labeled Left Mic and Right Mic.
  • Headphones - A headphone jack is located on the bottom right. Use any headphones or Line-Out to another audio system.
  • On/Off Switch - Located on the left, towards the top, switches audio on and off.

STEMMA QT Connector

Digital/Analog Connectors

DotStar LEDs

Three fully color RGB addressable LEDs can provide feedback or a light show. Uses DotStar protocol (not NeoPixel) so any microcomputer can easily control the lights.

  • GPIO #5 - DotStar LED data pin.
  • GPIO #6 - Dotstar LED clock pin.

Fan

  • GPIO #4 - The fan is on this pin.
