used to control the charging process is smart and it communicates with the SAMD
microcontroller. In the future you will be able to manage the charging parameters and
optimize capacity and charging times. Currently the charger sources 100mA.
I2C - The five pole connector on top right is our ESLOV cnnector. It is an I2C port with an
added interrupt signal. From top to bottom you have:
1 - VCC (3.3V)
2 - Wake
3 - SCL
4 - SDA
5 - GND
Please note that this interface uses 3.3V levels and works with I2C devices that support
3.3V. 5V devices need level shifting circuitry.
microHDMI - This is a standard video port that allows you to connect a monitor. If you
connect a MIPI Camera to the board, the output of this port is the image captured by the
camera when you load the VidorGraphics library and the streming camera sketch.
miniPCI-express connector - the board has this type of connector because the female is
widely available and also allows easy soldering on PCB. On this connector we have routed
the pins of the FPGA that are not used elsewhere, plus some power supply and the D+ and
D- of SAMD USB port. When the USB is used on this connector, it can't be used from the
top USB port.
MIPI Camera Connector - the Arduino MKR Vidor 4000 is designed to drive an Omnivision
OV5647 camera. The MIPI camera connector is a standard format that you find on several
commercial products. This type of connector allows the easy insertion of the flat cable that
is locked pressing the black slider towards the connector. To unlock the cable, you need to
pull away the black slider from the connector on both sides. Never pull the flat connector
cable with the slider in the lock position.
Hardware notes - This board is densely populated and it has a current consumption that
depends on the complexity of the tasks performed. The FPGA can do from very light tasks
to heavy computational processes, varying a lot the heat generated. Our design allows a
wide range of LiPo battery capacities and you can choose the right one for your needs.

NINA-W102 WiFi

The WiFi antenna built-in in the u-blox NINA-W102 module is made for embedded products
and should NOT be touched. Applying pressure or force on it could cause damage. Its
position should already offer some protection, but you need to be careful when you plug
and unplug shields because any upward pull force applied to the metallic antenna could
detach it.

MKR pins and the FPGA

If you look at the board from below, you will find the familiar A0-A6, D0-D13 and powr
labels. This is the standard MKR family layout and it is also what you expect from this board
as a MKR family member. What makes the Arduino MKR Vidor 4000 special is the fact that
