It looks serial connector matches new Jaluino v2.0 pinout (FTDI cable), great ! :) If you're in the mood of creating PCBs, what about a Jaluino Bee:
- xbee compatible socket: you choose which comm. board (bee) you want to use (XBee, Bluetooth-Bee, USB-Bee, home-made hope-RF-bee, ...) - *-bee board could be plugged below so pin headers from 18fxxxx would be accessible - or, *-bee board could be plugged above, so JaluinoBee could be plugged on a breadboard I don't have any xbee board or the like, but it seems it becomes more on more popular, some *uino even provide a bee socket as part of the main board (look at Seeeduino Stalker). As you say, having a widely used standard socket like this is quite interesting. Bee socket provides many pins, I understand only few are needed for minimal setup: power, DIN, DOUT (tx/rx). Maybe also CTS/ for reset system. I'm not sure about all the functionality of other pins, but for instance one is a PWM output proportional to signal strength. There sure will be debates about which pin should be kept and which shouldn't... Cheers Seb 2010/11/4 funlw65(Vasi) <[email protected]> > Done.
