Because I might need six analog inputs on the M0, I am considering to cut the trace between A2 and the RFM and connect the RFMs SS-line to another pin. Since there seems to be no other use I tend to use PA13/ATN instead. Would there be any issues on the software side?
Looking into the Moteino library I assume, that I could just pass the alternative pin as the first (optional) parameter of the RFM69 constructor, overriding the boards default. Correct?
I am still trying to get to grips with the whole SERCOM-stuff, but so far it is my understanding, that the Chip-Select (CS/SS/NSS) is separate from that and not tied into the SERCOM-structure. Still, when switching to PA13/ATN even that should be no problem, since they are both
SERCOM4/ PAD[1] according to Atmel's datasheet.
If this is possible, I would be curious, why Felix chose A2 of all pins for the slave select in the first place. The choice seems rather odd to me, reducing the number of analog inputs and also making the routing more cumbersome.
