Questions concerning the XC-1A

Post by Skeksis »

Hello everyone,

I have a couple of questions concerning the XC-1A dev board which I can't seem to find answers to in the documentation.

Firstly, what is the purpose of "H21" and "H22" pin-outs? "H20" appears to allow direct/easy access to the USB connection pins so I am assuming H21/22 provides similar access to something else?

I am also interested to know a little about the four pins situated between "X1PortA" and "X2PortA", I can see they are listed as GND, 1v, 3.3v and 5v but their positioning appears to be a little closer together than what I believe is the header pin standard. Are they in some way special if I am unable to lodge a standard 2x2 pin header in there? Please see attached images for reference.


Thanks,

Jonathan

If I'm not misremembering they have 2.00 mm spacing instead of 2.54 mm.

You can buy 2.00mm pins/lists etc as well.
Probably not the most confused programmer anymore on the XCORE forum.

Aha, thanks. I thought it was probably a stupid question.
