In addition to (4) edge connector slots for Pimoroni I2C breakout boards and (2) edge connector slots for SPI breakout boards, the breakout pin 1x10, so you can use boards other than Pimoroni breakouts.
This breakout pin is also available if the header is already soldered to the Pimoroni breakout.
The I2C breakout board can be used with any slot for the I2C.
2 SPI breakout board slots are different from chip select (CS) and GPIO pins, so software changes are required depending on the slot.
- SPI top slot (close to BREAKOUT GARDEN logo)
- CS: 0 (BCM 8), GPIO: BCM 18
- SPI Lower Slot
- CS: 1 (BCM 7), GPIO: BCM 19
Pimoroni breakouts have reverse polarity protection, so it is safe to insert the front and back into the edge connector slot by incorrectly inserting the front and back.
