Connecting Xplained Extension Boards
It is also possible to interface Xplained top-modules via the PROTO1 Xplained Pro board. The signal layout on
the extension connector below the white line, i.e. pins 11 - 20 is identical to the J1 connector (communication
connector) on the Xplained series MCU boards (see
Figure 4-6, “External Connector.” on page 11
Figure 4-6. External Connector.
So for Xplained series top-modules that only uses this connector can be attached. Note that the extension
connector on the Xplained Pro MCU board might not have all signals available due to lack of pin resources.
This needs to be checked for each case. A mounting example is shown in the
Sensor Board Mounted on PROTO1 Xplained Pro” on page 11
with a sensor board.

Using PROTO1 Xplained Pro With a Solderless Breadboard
It is possible to mount a 170 Tie-points solderless breadboard (size 47mm x 35mm) on to the prototype section
on the PROTO1 Xplained Pro board to ease prototyping (see
