Hi,

Are the general-purpose analog inputs in the exp board  also connected to
the pull-up in the HB main? To use that kind of sensors the only way is to
cut the trace in the HB, no matter I have or no the  ExpBoard?

Thanks

Jose Luis

basically, yes. the inputs from the expansion board feed into the inputs on the main board. if you need a high impedance input, your best bet is to cut a trace on the main board and use one of those inputs. the exp bd takes over main board inputs 0 (...)
