That is by design: rather than pick sensors for you, the goal is to add a tiny flexible PCB with the sensors YOU want, and interface them over the nine-pin connector. The connector provides the following options for power and connectivity: -* An I2C interface with built-in pull-ups +* 3V power (nominal voltage from a CR2016 coin cell, can drop to ~2.7V) +* An I²C interface with built-in pull-up resistors * Five general purpose IO pins, which can be configured as: - * Three analog inputs and two digital IO - * An SPI device + one analog / GPIO pin - * One UART + 3 GPIO - * Five digital IO pins - * Four PWM pins on two independent TC channels - * Five interrupt pins (two can wake from backup mode) + * Five analog inputs + * Five interrupt-capable digital inputs, with internal pull-up or pull-down resistors + * Five digital outputs + * SPI controller (with one spare analog / GPIO pin leftover) + * One UART TX/RX pair (with three GPIO leftover) + * Up to four PWM pins on two independent TC instances + * Two external wake inputs that can wake from the ultra-low-power BACKUP mode ![image](/images/sensor-board-pinout.png)
