Port description
CyberPi is equipped with a Type-C USB port, an electronic module port, and an extension board port, which allow it to easily and quickly connect to various types of electronic modules and extension boards.
Micro USB port (Type-C)
The Micro USB port allows CyberPi to connect to various types of computer devices for power supply and communication.
Port for connecting to extension boards
You can easily connect CyberPi to an extension board through the extension board port. Currently, the extension board Pocket shield is available for CyberPi.Pocket Shield is equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery that can supply power for CyberPi and provides 2-pin and 3-pin interfaces that can be used to connect servos, LED strips, and motors, which significantly improves the extensibility of CyberPi.
For more information, see "Pocket Shield."
Port for connecting electronic modules
You can connect CyberPi to multiple electronic modules in series through the electronic module port.CyberPi can intelligently identify the addresses of the modules, which simplifies your programming. You don't have to set the information about the addresses of the modules when you add or remove a module.
Example:
Connect CyberPi to multiple LED matrixes


Change the positions of the modules, as shown in the following figure.

For more information about mBuild modules, see mBuild Modules.
Programming
You can use mBlock 5 to program CyberPi. mBlock 5 provides two editors, namely the block-based graphical editor (the default editor, referred to as mBlock 5) and Python editor (referred to as mBlock-Python Editor).For details about programming, see "Programming Software."
