Subject: RE: [ComputerVoltageSources] Input Flavors

From: "John Loffink" <jloffink@...>

There are no Atom Pro 28M or 40M pinouts from Basic Micro yet, though they
have placeholders for the data sheets and the port assignments are shown in
the 28M schematics. A Renasas 3664 only has 4 IRQs and the 24M already
brings out 3 of them, and the fourth is used for the serial port TX signal.


To reduce input count requirement, what about making the mode selectable?
Program a port IO expander to set the modes, which toggles analog switches
to toggle the modes. If we want to make this compatible across programs,
now is the time to do it before the hardware is designed.
