Pinout

For the SPI connector see: SPI_connector_pinout. For the I2C connector see: I2C_connector_pinout.

LEDs

The only LED is a power indicator.

Jumper settings

See solder jumpers on how to change the solder jumper.

By changing the solder jumper SJ1, you can make the connector SPI0 into an ICSP programming connector for the attiny44 on the board.

Programming

The software

Reading the pushbuttons is very much like the DIO module. The read and write ports are described below.

Write ports

Some ports just set a single value. So writing more than one byte to such a port is redundant. Other ports are logically a stream of bytes. So writing more than one byte is encouraged.

The pushbutton board defines just one port.

port function
0xf0 change address.

Read ports

The pushbutton board supports several read ports:

port function
0x01 identification string. (terminated with 0).
0x02 read eeprom (serial number).
0x10 read all buttons
0x20 read button 1 (1 means NOT pushed, 0 means pushed)
0x21 read button 2 (1 means NOT pushed, 0 means pushed)
0x22 read button 3 (1 means NOT pushed, 0 means pushed)
0x23 read button 4 (1 means NOT pushed, 0 means pushed)
0x30 reports which buttons have been pushed since last read of this register
0x40 read button 1 (1 means pushed, 0 means NOT pushed) (V1.1 and up)
0x41 read button 2 (1 means pushed, 0 means NOT pushed) (V1.1 and up)
0x42 read button 3 (1 means pushed, 0 means NOT pushed) (V1.1 and up)
0x43 read button 4 (1 means pushed, 0 means NOT pushed) (V1.1 and up)
