The Zynaptik module includes extra circuitry that is not soldered. You can solder on it 3 extra submodules and a 40 pin header for interfacing them:
'''+ MCP4728 (MOD-2 Analog Output):''' It uses I2C address 0x60 by default. The 4 analog output pins are labelled as DAx on the Zynaptik's header schematic.

This is currently being implemented, but it's not available yet.

The core Zynthian kit is designed to allow novice to build a full device. Beware that the Zynaptik expander kit installation is more challenging, requiring some electronic construction skills including soldering and cutting. An intermediate hobbyist should be able to tackle the installation.

Insert one of the 10-pin 90 degree headers into the ADS1115 module. The pins go into the component side of the PCB extended through to the solder side. The ADS1115 is on the bent pin side of the header's plastic strip, not the straight pin side.

Insert the 40 pin header into the PCB with the short pins extending from the component side, through the PCB so that the plastic base sits on top of the component side of the PCB with its longer pins pointing up above the component side. It does not matter which way round this is inserted. Solder the short pins to the PCB.

Simply add the switches pins to the list. Zynaptik MCP23017 pins start at 200. You don't need to add all the 16 available switches. If you only want to use 2, simply add "200,201".

After saving, you will see that the extra custom switches are available for configuration.
Simply add the extra desired pins to the list (Switches Pins). Zynaptik's digital pins start at 200.
You don't need to add all the 16 available switches:
* If you only want to use 2, simply add "'''200,201'''"
* If you want to use 8, add "'''200,201,202,203,204,205,206,207'''"
After saving, the extra custom switches will be available for configuration.
