4.1.4 GPIO or Thermistor Inputs

There are 8 GPIO pins, which can either be floated, connected to a thermistor and 10k pullup, or forced to certain voltage for a measurement. This can be determined by using the J4 header as shown below. Insert a shunt from pins 1 and 2 to connect GPIO1 to the thermistor, pins 3 and 4 to connect GPIO2 and so on for the other GPIOs. Jumper J5 must also be connected to pull the GPIOs up to the TSREF reference voltage for ratiometric NTC measurements.
