featherwing board.D7 unknown gpio pin?

Post by schaefer0 »

hi,
I'm using the featherwing "pink" circuit board because I can't get the newer "black" board to work with my mac ventura 13.4 (22F66).

board.D6 is accepted but board.D7 is not, is this pin reserved?

Adafruit CircuitPython 7.3.3 on 2022-08-29; Adafruit Feather RP2040 with rp2040

cs_wbtB = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D6)
cs_wbtB = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D7)

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'D7'

please help

On this Feather, the `D` pins do not always correspond numerically to the GPIO pin numbering. This is to make pin numbering more consistent across multiple lines of Feathers, and it may have also been a PCB routing issue. See this pin chart from https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-fea ... co/pinouts. GPIO7 is D5. There is no D7.

thank you!!
This was a miscommunication between the protoboard designer and myself. D5 is the intended pin.
