The I/O expander releases these GPIOs for general use when the nRF52 DK is used together with boards
that follow the Arduino standard. The I/O expander can be permanently enabled by shorting solder bridge
SB18, or permanently disabled by cutting the shorting track on SB19. You must also short SB18 when
cutting SB19 for full compatibility with the Arduino standard.
The I/O expander can be temporarily enabled by connecting SHIELD DETECT to ground.
