VGA666 and Mausberry?
-
I have a Pi3 and the Mausberry switch connected to GPIO pins 23/24 and also want to use a VGA666 at the same time, but it populates all the GPIO pins
is it possible to use both at the same time?

anybody? -
Attached the pinout for the GERT666 GPIO to VGA connector. If the pins that the Mausberry require are being used by the VGA666, they cannot "also" be used by another process. GPIO pins are pretty dumb in that they can really only do one job at a time. I swear by the petrock power block so I don't know what the mausberry uses, but I'm guessing it's a probably no since the GERT uses like GPIO 30 pins.

You can program the Mausberry to use different pins:

Actually looking at the Mausberry, it says it uses pins 23 and 24. Im no genius with schematics, but those pins above look to be dead considering they are X'ed out. Worth looking into, but even still you better be comfortable with soldering because the vga666 doesn't have exposed pins so you'll probably have to solder the mausberry wires to the pin bases on top of the vga hat
