3.4.3.1 mikroBUS 1 Connector

The first mikroBUS 8-pin female header (J10) implements all mikroBUS features as described in the schematic below.

The reset feature is ensured (by default) by the processor reset line and can be controlled by the general reset line by swapping R198 and R199.

Figure 3-39. mikroBUS 1 Interface

The first mikroBUS interface features an SPI bus shared with the second mikroBUS interface. Each interface has its own Chip Select line to its SPI interface (PB6 for the mikroBUS1 interface). I/Os in common are PB3, PB4 and PB5. That means that the SPI interface cannot be used at the same time on the two mikroBUS interfaces.

The first mikroBUS interface features a two-wire interface (PC18 and PC19) shared with the second mikroBUS interface and with the 40-pin RPi connector. The end user must pay attention to the I²C addresses used on these nodes.

The PWM feature of the first mikroBUS interface (PA13) is shared with the green LED control.
