    Pinout

    Special Notes：

    • The expansion board can only be powered by a lithium battery. The Micro port on the board and the PH2.0 solar interface at the bottom are for charging purposes only.

    • The Type-C port can be used for charging and also supports data communication with the UNIHIKER M10.

    • Since the RGB LED is connected to the P1 pin, it may light up unintentionally when the P1 pin is occupied by a program. This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect functionality.
