The pinout of the WiPy3 is available as a PDF File
Please note that the PIN assignments for UART1 (TX1/RX1), SPI (CLK, MOSI, MISO) and I2C (SDA, SCL) are defaults and can be changed via software.
Do not use the 3.3V pin in combination with the Vin pin to supply the device as this will damage the voltage regulator on the board.
Always attach the appropriate antenna when using a wireless connection. For WiFi / BLE, it is not mandatory to use an external antenna when you did not explicitly specify this in your code.
By default, upon booting up the WiPy3 will create a WiFi access point with the SSID wipy-wlan-XXXX
, where XXXX
is a random 4-digit number, and the password www.pycom.io
.
The RF switch that chooses between the on-board and external antenna is connected to P12
, for this reason using P12
should be avoided unless WiFi is disabled in your application.
The Vin
pin on the WiPy3 can be supplied with a voltage ranging from 3.5v
to 5.5v
. The 3.3v
pin on the other hand is output only, and must not be used to feed power into the WiPy3, otherwise the on-board regulator will be damaged.
