Yes again, because this is a PIC board and not a ATMega. Still I think it is interesting to make an intermediate shield to place an arduino shield on a Jaluino as you mentioned above, because a lot of (functions on the ) shields will work and arduino people can switch low cost to Jal :-). I don’t think it is smart to put time in making an intermediate shield for an arduino to use Jaluino shields ( if they ever would be interested you use our shields they can make it them selfs). I have to check if it is possible to make a intermediate shield without changing the position of the connectors on the Jaluino (if the position is almost the same it could be a problem). I will also check if it is simple to add i2c (r’s and connector and jumpers) to the existing Jaluino medium (I removed it to make a simple layout as I mentioned in pervious mails). I am reading a lot of suggestions for the Jaluino medium but don’t forget it must stay a home brew one (not?) and this means a lot of limitation like pin positions and so on. But it is possible to make a Jaluino medium hardware pin compatible (distance) with an arduino same as it is possible to make the Jaluino medium pcb the same size as an arduino board but this won’t be a homebrew one like the Jaluino medium now. In the future I’d like to make a Jaluino medium pro double sided. SMT and with more bells and whistles than the homebrew one. And, off course, once we are satisfied with the homebrew one; with the same connector positions as this will be then our Jaluino base lay out. Seb thanks for making and testing the Jaluino medium board it is very nice to see it being made and used. I have only one question: I am not sure but it looks like you did not use a ceramic type of condensator for C5. But it must be this type of condensator (as you can see in the manual). A ceramic type you can see on www.farnell.com article number 1216441 Greetz Richard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jallib" group.
