Connectors
5.3.1.1 Grove 1
A Seeed Grove I2C connector is provided at J27. The RA MCU acts as a two-wire serial master, and a
connected module acts as a two-wire serial slave.
Table 10. Grove 1 Connector
5.3.1.2 Grove 2
A Seeed Grove I2C connector is provided at J28. The RA MCU acts as a two-wire serial master, and a
connected module acts as a two-wire serial slave. Alternatively, this port can be configured to support two
analog (ADC) inputs.
The pull-up resistors, R11 and R79, must be fitted when using I2C and removed when using as analog.
