What's with the silkscreen labels? They're all over the place. We decided to label the pins as they are assigned on the Apollo3 IC itself. This makes finding the pin with the function you desire a lot easier. Have a look at the full pin map from the Apollo3 datasheet. If you really need to test out the 4-bit SPI functionality of the Artemis, you're going to need to access pins 4, 22, 23, and 26. Need to try out the differential ADC port 1? Pins 14 and 15. The RedBoard Artemis ATP will allow you to flex the impressive capabilities of the Artemis module. The RedBoard Artemis ATP has the improved power conditioning and USB to serial that we've refined over the years on our RedBoard line of products. A modern USB-C connector makes programming easy. A Qwiic connector makes I²C easy. The ATP is fully compatible with SparkFun's Arduino core and can be programmed easily under the Arduino IDE. We've exposed the JTAG connector for more advanced users who prefer to use the power and speed of professional tools. If you need a lot of a GPIO with a simple program, ready to go to the market module, the ATP is the fix you need. We've added a digital MEMS microphone for folks wanting to experiment with always-on voice commands with TensorFlow and machine learning. We've even added a convenient jumper to measure current consumption for low power testing. With 1MB flash and 384k RAM, you'll have plenty of room for your sketches.

The Due is compatible with all Arduino shields that work at 3.3V and are compliant with the 1.0 Arduino pinout. The Due follows the 1.0 pinout: TWI: SDA and SCL pins that are near to the AREF pin. IOREF: allows an attached shield with the proper configuration to adapt to the voltage provided by the board. This enables shield compatibility with a 3.3V board like the Due and AVR-based boards which operate at 5V. An unconnected pin, reserved for future use.

The Arduino MKR FOX 1200 combines SigFox connectivity with the functionality of the Arduino MKR Zero. It is the ideal solution for beginners wanting to design IoT projects with a low power device. The Arduino MKR FOX 1200 is based on the Atmel SAMD21 and an ATA8520 SigFox module. The intelligent design enables the ability to power the board using an external 5 V power supply or two 1.5 V AA or AAA batteries. Features 32-bit computational power Rich set of I/O interfaces Low power SigFox communication Automatic switch between the two sources These features make this board an excellent choice for IoT battery-powered projects in a compact form factor. The USB port can supply power (5 V) to the board. The Arduino MKR FOX 1200 can run with or without the batteries connected and has limited power consumption. Please note: Unlike most Arduino boards, the Arduino MKR FOX 1200 runs at 3.3 V. The maximum voltage the I/O pins can handle is 3.3 V. Applying voltages higher than 3.3 V to any I/O pin could damage the board. While output to 5 V digital devices is possible, bidirectional communication with 5 V devices needs proper level shifting. Specifications Microcontroller SAMD21 Cortex-M0+ 32bit low power ARM MCU Board Power Supply (USB/VIN) 5 V Circuit Operating Voltage 3.3 V PWM Pins 12 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, A3 - or 18 -, A4 - or 19) Digital I/O Pins 8 UART 1 I²C 1 SPI 1 External Interrupts 8 (0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, A1 - or 16-, A2 - or 17) Analog Input Pins 7 (ADC 8 / 10 / 12 bit) Analog Output Pins 1 (DAC 10 bit) DC Current per I/O Pin 7 mA SRAM 32 KB Flash Memory 256 KB EEPROM No Clock Speed 32.768 kHz (RTC), 48 MHz LED_BUILTIN 6 Full-Speed USB Device and embedded Host LED_BUILTIN 6 Antenna power 2 dB Carrier frequency 868 MHz Working region EU Dimensions 7.64 x 25 mm Weight 32 g Antenna The Arduino MKR FOX 1200 requires a GSM antenna to be attached to the board with the micro UFL connector; please make sure that the antenna is compatible with the frequencies in the SigFox's range (868 Mhz). Please note: Do not attach the antenna to a metallic surface Batteries, Pins and board LEDs Battery capacity: The batteries must have a voltage of 1.5 V. Battery connector: To connect a battery pack (2x AA or AAA) to the Arduino MKR FOX 1200, use the screw terminal block. Polarity: On the silk in the bottom of the board, a positive pin is the closest to the USB connector VIN: This pin can power the board with a regulated 5 V source. If the power goes through this pin, the USB power source is disconnected. That is the only way to supply 5 V to the board, without using USB. 5 V: This pin outputs 5 V from the board when powered from the USB connector or the VIN pin. VCC: This pin outputs 3.3 V through the on-board voltage regulator. This voltage is 3.3 V if USB or VIN is used or equal the two batteries if they are used LED ON: The LED is connected to the 5 V input from either USB or VIN. It is not connected to the batteries. That results in the LED lighting up when the power comes from USB or VIN and staying off when the board is running on battery. That minimizes the waste of energy stored in the battery. Onboard LED: On Arduino MKR FOX 1200, the built-in LED is connected to D6 and not D13 as on the other boards. Blink example or other sketches that uses pin 13 for onboard LED may need to be changed to work properly.
