===== Electrical connections =====

On-board sensors are connected as follows:

^on-board notation^external notation^on-board sensor^microcontroller port^
|MIC|CON4|Microphone|PF0|
|LDR|CON3|Light intensity sensor|PF1|
|NTC|CON2|Temperature sensor|PF2|
|POT|CON1|Potentiometer|PF3|

==== Sensors ====

Every sensor on the board is connected through the multiplexer, enabling to select between on-board sensor or external sensor which can be connected to the same port through the connectors. By default all on-board sensors are connected to the analogous inputs of the microcontroller (ADC0-ADC3). Multiplexer is controller with the port PG0.

==== Low-pass filter ====

Low-pass filter can be composed between external analogous inputs 0-3 (PF0-PF3). Resistor and capacitor will be connected to the socket for building up the low-pass filter. By default a low-pass filter is composed for the channel 0 (PF0). Resistor value is 10 kΩ and capacitor value is 100 nF.
