      I can't find the pins P12 or P2 on the Pyscan-board to perform a safe boot or get it in low level bootmode? Also where are the docs about the camera-connector, the fingerprint-connector, the barcode-scanner connector, the io-expander connector? I can't find any documentation about all these 'possibilities'?

        Hi,
        P12 and P2 are the same pins as listed in the Fipy documentation pinout. https://docs.pycom.io/datasheets/development/fipy/
        Over the years we have used different pinout schemes, causing the confusion
        Per the other sensors you mention, I must say I have not seen anything about that (yet). I will ask!

          I do not agree that P12 and P2 are the same pins. P2 and G23 (as called on the expansion boards) may be different names for the same pin, but not P2 and P12.

            Ah sorry that was unclear. What you wrote is indeed what I meant to say

              I can find the pins on the FiPy-board but I don't know how to access them if this FiPy is plugged into the PyScan-board.
              So I'm guessing it's G23? I'll try this, thx!

                @BartRemans G23 is the boot mode pin, G28 the safe boot Pin, but also the antenna switch pin. P2 aka G23 is also accessible on the external header of the Pyscan board. See https://docs.pycom.io/gitbook/assets/pyscan-pinout.pdf
