Hi All!

We are excited to share our new Bean Documentation. Please reach out with any questions! We will be updating the docs with more stuff in the near future.

Where in the new documentation can I find the diagram showing which pins are I2C, SPI, PWM, etc.?

I was checking out the new documentation because I couldn't remember which analog pin was SDA and which was SCL for I2C. I was hoping to easily find a picture like the one that is in this post (though I think there was an updated one in the legacy documentation):

@NickP: Please give analogWrite a try on digital pins d0-d3. analogWrite is really just a digital signal that uses PWM, and the PWM enabled pins are d0,d1,d2, and d3. We've updated the pinout diagram to make this clear. We missed the PWM pins on our last diagram. Sorry about that. [image]

Hi @bdwalker1!

Here is the page for the technical specs - it's been updated

@Nadine,

The "Reference" link from the Bean page is not working.

I was trying to access the OSX SDK documentation to answer another user's question, but I can't find it on the Bean website because the Reference link doesn't work.

HI!

Thanks for letting me know! I notified our team! Sorry about that delay.

This should help:

Hi, is there anywhere in the documentation where battery & external powering info can be found? I am poking around here & seeing what I can figure out, but as someone who just started with the Bean yesterday and had the battery die overnight, a more upfront explanation of battery drain / sleep / external power would be really helpful.

Thanks!

HI!

Did you look at this:
https://www.punchthrough.com/bean/reference#Sleep

It links to this:
https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/309

Let me know if that is helpful.

Best,
Nadine

I hunted down what I needed to know but this is more of a documentation suggestion: a clearer, shorter explanation in the guides would probably be helpful.

Is there Bean+ schematic and board file available now? The outline board file is very limited to understand the design.
