## Notes

This pinout is specific to the [Adafruit Feather Wing Specification](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather/feather-specification) and thus may vary depending on the Feather Board you choose to target. For example, while the mechanical fit is correct, the pin names do not align with the [Feather Huzzah ESP8266](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather-huzzah-esp8266/pinouts).
