| 21 | +## Board Specific Features |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +The Nano RP2040 Connect has a number of board-specific features that can be accessed through MicroPython: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +- **RGB LED** - a simple RGB pixel that can be controlled by setting `r`, `g` and `b` values. |
| 26 | +- **Microphone (MP34DT05)** - a microphone for recording audio samples. |
| 27 | +- **IMU (LSM6DSOX)** - for sampling gyroscope and accelerometer data. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +### RGB LED |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +To use the RGB pixel, we can control it by using the `X`, `Y` and `Z` pins. Below is an example that will blink the main colors in sequence: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +```python |
| 34 | +# code example RGB |
| 35 | +``` |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +### Microphone (MP34DT05) |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +The Nano RP2040 Connect has a built-in microphone, that can be used through the OpenMV editor. To use it, you will need to install [OpenMV]() and run the following script. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +```python |
| 42 | +import image, audio, time |
| 43 | +from ulab import numpy as np |
| 44 | +from ulab import scipy as sp |

| 57 | + # NOTE: do Not call any function that allocates memory. |
| 58 | + global raw_buf |
| 59 | + if (raw_buf == None): |
| 60 | + raw_buf = buf |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +# Start audio streaming |
| 63 | +audio.start_streaming(audio_callback) |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +def draw_fft(img, fft_buf): |
| 66 | + fft_buf = (fft_buf / max(fft_buf)) * SIZE |

| 68 | + color = (0xFF, 0x0F, 0x00) |
| 69 | + for i in range(0, len(fft_buf)): |
| 70 | + img.draw_line(i*SCALE, SIZE, i*SCALE, SIZE-int(fft_buf[i]) * SCALE, color, SCALE) |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +def draw_audio_bar(img, level, offset): |
| 73 | + blk_size = (SIZE//10) |
| 74 | + color = (0xFF, 0x00, 0xF0) |
| 75 | + blk_space = (blk_size//4) |
| 76 | + for i in range(0, int(round(level/10))): |
| 77 | + fb.draw_rectangle(SIZE+offset, SIZE - ((i+1)*blk_size) + blk_space, 20 * SCALE, blk_size - blk_space, color, 1, True) |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +while (True): |
| 80 | + if (raw_buf != None): |
| 81 | + pcm_buf = np.frombuffer(raw_buf, dtype=np.int16) |
| 82 | + raw_buf = None |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | + if CHANNELS == 1: |
| 85 | + fft_buf = sp.signal.spectrogram(pcm_buf) |
| 86 | + l_lvl = int((np.mean(abs(pcm_buf[1::2])) / 32768)*100) |
| 87 | + else: |
| 88 | + fft_buf = sp.signal.spectrogram(pcm_buf[0::2]) |
| 89 | + l_lvl = int((np.mean(abs(pcm_buf[1::2])) / 32768)*100) |

| 99 | + |
| 100 | +# Stop streaming |
| 101 | +audio.stop_streaming() |
| 102 | +``` |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +## IMU (LSM6DSOX) |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +The Nano RP2040 Connect has a built-in inertial measure unit (IMU). With the following script, you can retrieve the accelerometer and gyroscope data and print it in the REPL. |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +```python |
| 109 | +import time |
| 110 | +from lsm6dsox import LSM6DSOX |
| 111 | +from machine import Pin, I2C |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +# Initialize the LSM6DSOX sensor with I2C interface |
| 114 | +lsm = LSM6DSOX(I2C(0, scl=Pin(13), sda=Pin(12))) |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +while True: |
| 117 | + # Read accelerometer values |
| 118 | + accel_values = lsm.accel() |
| 119 | + print('Accelerometer: x:{:>8.3f} y:{:>8.3f} z:{:>8.3f}'.format(*accel_values)) |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | + # Read gyroscope values |
| 122 | + gyro_values = lsm.gyro() |
| 123 | + print('Gyroscope: x:{:>8.3f} y:{:>8.3f} z:{:>8.3f}'.format(*gyro_values)) |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | + print("") |
| 126 | + time.sleep_ms(100) |
| 127 | +``` |
| 128 | + |
