MCookie Upin27 Layout

Each stack-able mCookie module uses a set of 27 pins.

Below is the chart which shows which pins are used for each specific module and can be used to find overlaps. If a conflict or overlap exist it is unlikely that both modules will be usable at the same time for a project.

See section Known Conflicts to see a list of already known conflicts.

Notes

• Each stack-able mCookie module uses a set of 27 pins.
• Core modules provides pins to other modules.
  • Only one Core module type should exist in a build / project.
  • Usage of a stack splitter such as mBattery or DUO simply allow the stack to be shorter by splitting the stack height, but both stacks are still connected.
• Core Programmers are needed to upload a program to a Core module (except for CoreUSB, as there is an integrated programmer).
  • Core programmers use RX_ [D0] & TX_ [D1] on a Core module for programming.
  • RX_ [D0] & TX_ [D1] are also used for Serial communication with the Serial Monitor from the Core module to the Computer.
  • Programming and Serial Monitor does not cause a conflict.
  • RX_ [D0] & TX [D1] are also typically used by Communication modules such as Bluetooth and WiFi. Please be aware of this possible conflict.
  • Re-wiring on the Communication module may be needed in order to use a different pin set.
• Other modules (non-Core modules) uses pins provided by Core modules.
• Pin names for a non-Core module are sometimes repeated.
  • The default configuration is in not parenthesis, while a re-wiring alternative is in parenthesis.
  • Some modules need to be re-wired in order to avoid pin conflicts. See individual pages for re-wiring information.
• Power is provided by power giving modules such as mBattery, Battery Management, etc. The power pins 5V, 3V3 and GND are share-able across all modules and do not cause a conflict.
• Share-able communication pins such as I2C (SDA [A4] & SCL [A5]), and SPI (MISO [D11], MOSI [D12] & SCK [D13]) will not cause a conflict between modules. As they are designed to work as a share-able communication bus.
  • If the pins for I2C and SPI are not used in their intended share-able communication bus mode. Then the pins will follow the typical pin conflict rules.
• Non share-able communication pins such as UART (TX_ & RX_) will cause a conflict between modules that attempt to use the same pins. As UART is not a shared communication bus.
• The Sensor Hub makes sensors connectable to a Core module.
  • It provides connectivity to almost all of the pins on the Core module.
  • Be cautious when connecting a Sensor / Trinket to the Sensor Hub as that particular pin could be used by a non-Core module in the build / project.
  • Visit the Sensor Hub page for information on how a Sensor / Trinket will map to a Core module based on the labeling.
