CC3000 on the Maple board

I'm trying to connect the CC3000 (TI's original Booster Pack for the Launchpads, https://estore.ti.com/CC3000BOOST-CC3000-BoosterPack-P4258.aspx) to the original LeafLab's Maple board (the Espruino for Olimexino board runs fine). The instructions for connecting CC3000 to Espruino (http://www.espruino.com/CC3000) says it must be connected to pins B3-B8 only. Pin to pin matching of the STM32 chip gives me D42-D43-D4-D5-D9-D14 on the Maple board. However, unfortunately, the D43 pin in the Maple rev.5 board is tied to the Reset button, and cannot be used.
Anyone can advise if in the latest Espruino images the CC3000 could be connected to other pins, or it still hard coded to those mention in the tutorial? Is it possible to modify the pins used? Any help is very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance

Hi,

The pins are hard-coded at the moment, but I'm afraid you're unlikely to have any luck with the Maple. The chip on it has only half the flash of the Espruino Board so some things have been left out to make room - one of those is CC3000 support.

If you compiled your own image and removed stuff you didn't need (Graphics, FAT) then there might be space (and you could specify your own pins) but I can't guarantee that it would fit in even then.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
