Figure 5-2. Attaching Pin-Headers to the Curiostiy Nano Board

Figure 5-3. Connecting to Curiosity Nano Base for Click boards

Tip: 

 Start at one end of the pin header and gradually insert the header along the length of the board.

Once all the pins are in place, use a flat surface to push them in.

Tip: 

 For applications where the pin headers will be used permanently, it is still recommended to solder

them in place.

Important: 

 Once the pin headers are in place, they are hard to remove by hand. Use a set of pliers and

carefully remove the pin headers to avoid damage to the pin headers and PCB.

LED

There is one yellow user LED available on the PIC18F16Q40 Curiosity Nano board that can be controlled by either
GPIO or PWM. The LED can be activated by driving the connected I/O line to GND.
