> Note:
> 
> 1. If you drive the servo and call the analogWrite function at the same time, you need to select the PWM signal pins generated by different timers. Since the 4 channels of the STM32 timer need to maintain the same frequency, if the PWM generated by the same timer is used to drive the servo and analogWrite respectively , it may cause the servo to fail.

## 3 Communication

### 3.1 I2C Bus

I2C bus is `D14` and `D15` pins. Users can directly include the `#include <Wire.h>`, which is the Arduino official I2C header file, to use the I2C bus.

### 3.2 SPI Bus

SPI bus is `D24`, `D25` and `D26` pins. Users can directly include the `#include <SPI.h>`, which is the Arduino official SPI header file, to use the SPI bus. In addition, chip select pin (SS) also is used, which is `D7` by default.

### 3.3 USB

This board supports USB virtual COM by default. See [example](https://github.com/RTduino/RTduino/tree/master/examples/USBSerial).
