1Bitsy connection guide
1Bitsy 1Bitsy v1.0d wiring guide with power, signal assignments, and bench checks.
1Bitsy v1.0d
74 contacts Current packagePower the board over USB
RequiredUse a 5 V USB host or supply with a Micro-B cable. The board already includes a series diode, 3.3 V regulator and decoupling. Use USB as the sole supply during these examples.
- 5 V USB power
- USB host VBUS
- USB_VBUS (P24-1)
- Common return
- USB host GND
- USB_GND (P24-5)
- GND (1)
- GND (16)
- Multimeter COM
- Measure regulated rail
Bench checks
- Measure about 3.3 V at contact 15 or 29 relative to GND at contact 1 or 16.
- Check that a peripheral draws only the current allowed by the fitted regulator and the USB source.

Connection scenarios
Connect a Serial Wire Debug probe
With USB powering the board and target-power output disabled on the probe, connect a keyed 10-position Cortex cable to X3. For individual wiring, match each signal to the probe’s target connector and use short leads.
- Target voltage reference
- Probe VTref input
- VTref (X3-1)
- Debug data
- Probe SWDIO
- SWDIO (X3-2)
- Debug clock
- Probe SWCLK
- SWCLK (X3-4)
- Common return
- Probe GND
- DBG_GND (X3-3)
- DBG_GND (X3-5)
- Ground detect
- Probe GNDDetect
- GNDDetect (X3-9)
- Optional reset
- Probe nRESET
- NRST (X3-10)
- Optional trace
- Probe SWO
- SWO (X3-6)
Bench checks
- Confirm the cable orientation against pin 1 and the connector key.
- Read the target ID, then halt or reset the core from the debugger. If the firmware prevents an attach, use the probe’s connect-under-reset mode with NRST connected.
