Description
***********



.. code-block:: none

   GPIO pins exposed on BBC MicroBit headers.

   The edge connector on the micro:bit is used to connect to external
   circuits and components.

   There are 25 strips/pins including 5 rings for using with 4mm banana
   plugs or crocodile clips. 3 of these rings are for general purpose
   input and output (GPIO) and are also capable of analog, PWM and touch
   sensing, and two are connected to the micro:bit power supply.

   The smaller strips spaced at 1.27mm on the edge connector have additional
   signals, some of which are used by the micro:bit, and others that are free
   for you to use. There are a number of external PCB connectors for purchase
   with an 80w 1.27mm pitch that can be used to easily access these extra pins.

   Only the pins on the front are connected to signals. The back rings are
   connected to the front rings, but the back small strips are unconnected.

   Pin assignments can be found at:

                wake up the system.

                Wake up capable devices are disabled (interruptions will not wake up
                the system) by default but they can be enabled at runtime if necessary.
