Hi guys, I'm looking for some feedback from Arduino's users. As you may know, a new project named Jaluino is aimed to clone the idea of Arduino shields: provide a common base, and just plug a daughter board on it.
As the project has started, Vasi (Funlw65) also tried to build such a board. His board, renamed FreeJalduino, provides the same shape for shield connectors, so you can plug an original Arduino shield on it. Looks promising. My doubts is how can a PIC provide the same functionalities as an ATMega, and as consequence, how can a PIC drive an Arduino shield ? For instance, ATMega has many PWM channels (like 6) whereas most PICs have 2 channels (if not only one). 18F2550 & 18F4550 have two channels. These differences made me think this wasn't possible, but I may be wrong, and would like your opinion on this. Should Jaluino be Arduino-shield compatible ? Does the PWM example is an exception that could be considered as a "simple" limitation ? Or should we go our own way ?
