Type

Function

P0-P3

I/O

IR-RX Headers, tolerate 3.3V or 5V signals in, output 3.3V logic level

P4-P7

I/O

IR-TX Headers, output 3.3V logic level

P8-P9

I/O

AUX Headers with 3.3VOUT and 3.3V logic level.

P10-P11

I/O

AUX Headers with 5VOUT, tolerate 3.3V or 5V signals in, output 3.3V logic
level

P12-P15

I/O

QTI Headers with 5VOUT, tolerate 3.3V or 5V signals in, output 3.3V logic level

P16

O

5V Enable. Set pin as input to enable regulator (default mode).
Output low to disable 5V regulator.

P17

I

Low voltage signal. Normally high, this signal goes low when supply voltage
drops low, and is a warning to change the batteries soon and/or to disable
power to less crucial (and high power) functions, such as the WiFi module.

P18

I/O

WX_DBG - Connects to the debug output signal from the Parallax WiFi module
(if installed).

P19

I/O

Socket for PING))) or LaserPING Distance Sensor

P20

O

Piezospeaker

P21-P22

I/O

Memsic MX2125 expansion pads under the FLiP module

P23

O

Common IR TX LED GND. Set low to operate IR TX LEDs at full brightness, or
apply PWM signal to adjust brightness.

P24

O

Serial2 TTL Output (TX) to WiFi module (if installed)

P25

I

Serial2 TTL Input (RX) from WiFi module (if installed)

P26

O

Servo motor LEFT control signal. P26 LED on FLiP module will flash to indicate
left motor signal

P27

O

Servo motor RIGHT control signal. P27 LED on FLiP module will flash to
indicate right motor signal

P28-P29

I/O

FLiP I2C pins, not used by the SumoBot WX PCB. Refer to the Propeller FLiP
product page for the FLiP schematic for details about these pins.

P30

O

Propeller programming pin / Serial1 / TTL Output (TX) to WiFi module (if
installed)

P31

I

Propeller programming pin / Serial1 / TTL Input (RX) from WiFi module (if
installed)

DTR

O

DTR Signal from WiFi module (if installed), used to reset Propeller FLiP during
wireless programming. Disconnect this signal from RESn to disable wireless
programming.

RESn

I

RESET input to Propeller FLiP module. Set low to hold Propeller FLiP in reset
state.

GND
