7. PCB Layout
This section provides some guidelines on PCB layout, in order to eliminate interference or noise.
7.1. Pin Assignment
Before PCB layout, we should learn about pin assignment in order to get reasonable layout with so many
external components. Figure 51 is the overview of pin assignment of the module.
