User Manual

A2 thru A5 - These are each analog input as well as digital I/O pins.
Please note, A3 functions as expected but happens to be a different microcontroller pin than the one on the Metro M4
non-WiFi version. This shouldn't affect you but if you're doing something special with that pin, like a timer or SERCOM
config, check the schematic for the underlying hardware pin name
Right side
SCK/MOSI/MISO - These are the hardware SPI pins, are are connected to the 2x3 header on the right hand side.
These are also used by the ESP32 so they should not be used for anything but SPI connectivity - not for GPIO.
Additional analog inputs
In addition to the A0-A5 pins, there are extra analog inputs available. There's not a
ton
because we ended up going
with prioritizing the PCC camera peripheral pins rather than try to stuff as many analog inputs as possible
SDA is also A6
SCL is also A7
These pins are available in CircuitPython under the board module. Names that start with # are prefixed with D and
other names are as is. So #0 / RX above is available as board.D0 and board.RX for example.
Parallel Capture Peripheral
There's a 'camera' input peripheral you can use with some camera chips to capture video with 10-bit data width. We
thought this was neat so we made sure all those pins were available. Here are the PCC pins (left) and the Metro M4
Express AirLift pins it's mapped to. Unlike other peripherals, you cannot mux these signals to other pins!
DEN1: MOSI
DEN2: SCK
CLK: MISO
D0: D13
D1: D12
D2: D10
D3: D11
D4: D9
D5: D8
D6: D1
D7: D0
D8: D5
D9: D6
QSPI Flash and NeoPixel
As part of the 'Express' series of boards, the Metro M4 Express AirLift is designed for use with CircuitPython. To make
that easy, we have added two extra parts to this Metro AirLift: a mini NeoPixel (RGB LED) and a 2 MB QSPI (Quad SPI)
