Audio PMOD

To make space for the keyboard and mouse, I moved the audio PMOD to the ChipKit header of the Arty A7 board. Hook up Digilent's PMOD Amp2 as follows:

  • PMOD Pin 1 (AIN) to ChipKit IO 0.
  • PMOD Pin 2 (GAIN) to ChipKit IO 1.
  • PMOD Pin 3 Not Connected.
  • PMOD Pin 4 (~SHUTDOWN) to ChipKit IO 3.
  • PMOD Pin 5 (GND) to Ground.
  • PMOD Pin 6 (VCC) to 3V3.
