😆 That’s a leftover from the origins of this board, which started out as an auxiliary controller for the [L3X-Z hexapod robot](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/l3x-z-a-opencyphal-enabled-hexapod-robot-for-elrob-2022/1682). One requirement of our selected scenario at [ELROB 2023](https://107-systems.org/l3xz-hexapod-robot-elrob2022/) was to be able to detect radioactive sources. Hence I purchased a simple (yet expensive) radiation sensor which provides a counts/minute (CPM) signal that was captured by that pin =) Clearly the documentation needs to be cleaned up a bit @generationmake 😉 .

For reference, here’s already a thread dedicated to the OpenCyphalPicoBase board: [https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/opencyphalpicobase-a-node-with-raspberry-pi-pico-and-mcp2515](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/opencyphalpicobase-a-node-with-raspberry-pi-pico-and-mcp2515) .
