Portsdown 4 GPIO Connections
RPi 4 GPIO pin out
- Note the RPi4 (only) can be powered with 5v directly on to GPIO 2 and 4.

Note that the GPIO pin names are markedly different from the RPi 3B. Each pin on the RPi4 GPIO can be referred to in many ways: its physical pin number, the Broadcom I/O number, the Wiring Pi number or the primary or alternate names. Source for GPIO designations was the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B datasheet.
Note that no connections should be made to GPIO Pins 27 and 28, otherwise the RPi might get stuck on the Rainbow Screen at boot. Previous connections to these pins are being moved to other pins 32 and 33.
J0x terminal block identities relate to the BATC GPIO breakout PCB from the club shop..
Unused Willow breakout boards may work with Portsdown 4 because they needed extra connections to pins 27 & 28 on Portsdown 2018. These aren't required on P4 as noted here.
Pins 36, 37 & 38 may still be connected - G8GKQ has not knowingly disabled them - for extra DO, D1 & D2 connections - worth a try because these were used with the 2-way RF Switch [F-M port of which would be Pluto] All 3 lines are sent to logic high in Portsdown 2019 / 2020 to switch in the Lime Mini.
