What GPIO pins are used by the Piface CAD shield?

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi,

 

I want to use the Pyface CAD shield together with other things. It probably isn't using all the pins.

 

But which ones does it use and which could I divert to other things? Most importantly are the pins for any of the UARTs free?

 

Yours,

   Goswin

 

PS: It would be nice if the shield had pins for the GPIO ports it doesn't use at the top so one could stack shields (provided they use dfferent ports) or connect a serial adapter without having to build a connector that splits them off.

    Interrupts from the buttons via the MCP are on IO pin 22 (GPIO6). IR receiver is on pin 16 (GPIO4). Other than that PiFace Cad uses SPI clk, sdo, sdi, !spi_ce1 GND, 5V and 3V3.
