+class Signal -- control and sense external I/O devices
+======================================================
+
+The Signal class is a simple extension of Pin class. Unlike Pin, which
+can be only in "absolute" 0 and 1 states, a Signal can be in "asserted"
+(on) or "deasserted" (off) states, while being inverted (active-low) or
+not. Summing up, it adds logical inversion support to Pin functionality.
+While this may seem a simple addition, it is exactly what is needed to
+support wide array of simple digital devices in a way portable across
+different boards, which is one of the major MicroPython goals. Regardless
+whether different users have an active-high or active-low LED, a normally
+open or normally closed relay - you can develop single, nicely looking
+application which works with each of them, and capture hardware
+configuration differences in few lines on the config file of your app.
+
+Following is the guide when Signal vs Pin should be used:
+
+* Use Signal: If you want to control a simple on/off (including software
+  PWM!) devices like LEDs, multi-segment indicators, relays, buzzers, or
+  read simple binary sensors, like normally open or normally closed buttons,
+  pulled high or low, Reed switches, moisture/flame detectors, etc. etc.
+  Summing up, if you have a real physical device/sensor requiring GPIO
+  access, you likely should use a Signal.
+
+* Use Pin: If you implement a higher-level protocol or bus to communicate
+  with more complex devices.
+
+The split between Pin and Signal come from the usecases above and the
+architecture of MicroPython: Pin offers the lowest overhead, which may
+be important when bit-banging protocols. But Signal adds additional
+flexibility on top of Pin, at the cost of minor overhead (much smaller
+than if you implemented active-high vs active-low device differences in
+Python manually!). Also, Pin is low-level object which needs to be
+implemented for each support board, while Signal is a high-level object
+which comes for free once Pin is implemented.
+
+If in doubt, give the Signal a try! Once again, it is developed to save
+developers from the need to handle unexciting differences like active-low
+vs active-high signals, and allow other users to share and enjoy your
+application, instead of being frustrated by the fact that it doesn't
+work for them simply because their LEDs or relays are wired in a slightly
+different way.
+
+Constructors
+------------
+
+.. class:: Signal(pin_obj, invert=False)
+           Signal(pin_arguments..., \*, invert=False)
+
+   Create a Signal object. There're two ways to create it:
+
+   * By wrapping existing Pin object - universal method which works for
+     any board.
+   * By passing required Pin parameters directly to Signal constructor,
+     skipping the need to create intermediate Pin object. Available on
+     many, but not all boards.
+
+   The arguments are:
+
+     - ``pin_obj`` is existing Pin object.
+
+     - ``pin_arguments`` are the same arguments as can be passed to Pin constructor.
+
+     - ``invert`` - if True, the signal will be inverted (active low).
+
+Methods
+-------
+
+.. method:: Signal.value([x])
+
+   This method allows to set and get the value of the signal, depending on whether
+   the argument ``x`` is supplied or not.
+
+   If the argument is omitted then this method gets the signal level, 1 meaning
+   signal is asserted (active) and 0 - signal inactive.
+
+   If the argument is supplied then this method sets the signal level. The
+   argument ``x`` can be anything that converts to a boolean. If it converts
+   to ``True``, the signal is active, otherwise it is inactive.
+
+   Correspondence between signal being active and actual logic level on the
+   underlying pin depends on whether signal is inverted (active-low) or not.
+   For non-inverted signal, active status corresponds to logical 1, inactive -
+   to logical 0. For inverted/active-low signal, active status corresponds
+   to logical 0, while inactive - to logical 1.
+
+.. method:: Signal.on()
+
+   Activate signal.
+
+.. method:: Signal.off()
+
+   Deactivate signal.
