Pin #14 - also available as SPI MISO
Pin #15 - also available as SPI MOSI
Pin #16 - also available as SPI Chip Select
Pin #17 - +3.3V
Pin #18 - +3.3V
Pin #19 - also available as I2C clock (SCL)
Pin #20 - also available as I2C data (SCA)

Edge Connector Data Sheet
Note different pins have different pull up/down resistance
Using shared pins will trigger unexpected behaviors. Avoid them if possible.

Buttons (5, 11)
LEDs (3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10)
Disable LEDs with led.enable(false) before used the pins (light sensing will also be disabled)
Accessibility (12)
Reserved for toggling the chip's accessibility mode and should not be used
I2C (19, 20)
on board motion sensor is connected to I2C bus, do not use these other than for I2C
(otherwise micro:bit might fail to boot)

Power Supply
max input current: 120mA
power usage: 30mA
max current for pins: 90mA
