4.1.2 Other Headers

In addition to the Xplained Pro Standard Extension Headers, ATmega256RFR2 Xplained Pro has additionally two headers with spare signals which offers access to the I/O of the microcontroller which are otherwise not easily available elsewhere or might be favorable to have collected together. All headers have a pitch of 2.54mm.
