FAQs

What is the primary function of the Spresense Extension Board?

The primary function is to expand the audio capabilities and connectivity options of the Spresense main board, adding features like microphone inputs, headphone output, and an SD card slot.

Can I use this board without a Spresense main board?

No, the Spresense Extension Board requires a Spresense main board to function as it connects directly to it and draws power and processing capabilities from it.

What type of microphones can be connected?

The board supports either 4-channel analog microphone input or 8-channel digital microphone input.

What is the maximum capacity of the microSD card supported?

While not explicitly stated, it is generally recommended to use microSD cards up to 32GB formatted as FAT32 for best compatibility, although larger cards might work depending on the Spresense firmware.

Is the board compatible with all Arduino shields?

It offers pin compatibility with *selected* Arduino shields. You should verify the specific shield's pinout and voltage requirements against the Spresense Extension Board's specifications.

What voltage do the digital I/O pins operate at?

The digital input/output pins can operate at either 3.3V or 5V, providing flexibility for different peripheral requirements.

How do I connect headphones?

There is a dedicated headphone jack on the board. Simply plug in standard 3.5mm headphones.

Troubleshooting

Extension board not recognized by Spresense main board.

Ensure the extension board is securely connected to the main board. Verify that the main board has power and is functioning correctly. Check for any physical damage on the connectors.

MicroSD card not detected.

Ensure the microSD card is inserted correctly and is not corrupted. Try a different microSD card to rule out card issues. Format the card to FAT32 if necessary.

Audio output or input not working.

Verify that the audio device (headphones, microphone) is properly connected. Check your software configuration to ensure the correct audio channels are enabled and configured. Test with different audio devices.

Digital or Analog pins not responding.

Confirm that the connected sensor or module is compatible with the specified voltage (3.3V or 5V). Double-check your wiring and code for correct pin assignments and logic levels.
