0.4.3d (and others?) Hardware SPI pins used by non SPI #4

Open DeionSi opened 2 years ago

DeionSi commented 2 years ago

It was noted that atmega2560 hardware SPI (PB0-3) pins (arduino mega D50-D53) are used by non SPI functions (clutch input, ignition 3 output, ignition 4 output). Perhaps these circuits could be moved to other outputs to not restrict SPI usage.

What's the actual use case here as there's no SPI support for things with these boards?

The v0.3/0.v4 can't and won't be changed on these pins. Any change here would need to be a whole new board.

Actual possible use case would be for SD-card logging with something like https://electropeak.com/micro-sd-tf-card-adapter-module. Even if not possible 0.3 or 0.4, this issue could be kept open as a reminder for future revisions. It is your choice.
