LoPy pinout (work in progress)

nice but all pins are PWM?

I'd rather say all pins can be assigned to one of the 8 high or low speed PWMs.

@pighixxx oops, probably some misunderstanding, I can not find it... I mean Pymakr and WiPy 2 pins

@Xykon Yes, up to 16 channels simultaneously

Is P24 (3.3V) input only? I think when board powered from VIN/5V it can be used to power 3.3V external devices.

P24 is not an IO pin... it's either 3.3V input if you want to power your LoPy from a stable 3.3V power source or it's 3.3V output from the regulator that transforms VIN to 3.3V.

No, I put also a note that the LDO have a 1.2A load capability.

Hello all,

I have found the i2c pins for bus 0 (currently the only one that does not throw an OSError during instantiation).

P9 - SDA Bus 0
P10- SCL Bus 0

Again this is presumably for i2c bus 0. ie i2c_object = I2C(0, I2C.MASTER)

Method for finding these pins:

These pins were found by looping a "while True: i2c.scan()" in the REPL prompt and scoping around for a clock signal. After the clock signal was found I continued the i2c.scan() and plugged in an i2c sensors SCL to the P10, and checked to either side with the sensors SDA pin and found the address for the sensor was reported back while SDA was connected on P9.

Hope this helps and happy hacking everyone!

I can confirm, these pins worked right away. I'm using a TMP102 thermometer on address 73d, and I can read the temperature with a oneliner:

struct.unpack(">H", i2c.readfrom(TMP,2))[0] * 0.0625/16.
28.25

Thanks.

P.S. I plan to build an open-source wireless house thermostat with the UI on a smartphone, connecting via ble or a lorawan gateway. I choose this board because of its integration and low power consumption. The micropython is a very nice bonus, I was expecting to jump back into C and assembly :-)

@bartvandeenen Good to hear I could help you out! Do you already have your source code on github? I am interested to see how your project will turn out, software and hardware wise.

@mfgeorge
No there's nothing yet. I'll post here in the forum when there's something.

Wouldn't a thermostat chip like the DS1620 be easier in this case?
