Hello Dave,

Thank you for your recomendations. But regarding the original question, i could not understand your final opinion. Considering that there are already 2 dedicated clock pins and 51 IOs, what do you recomend to do with the remaining pin? Clock or IO?

In general, when you (or whoever is reading this) is using a generic kit, what usually would be a good relation of IOs and Clock pins.

Best regards.
