AMICUS 18 Section

5) NO, go and buy ARDUINO SHIELDS, the point is that Arduino sheilds are CHEAP and readily available....Before Amicus18 there was no way for a PBP user to take advantage of the massive number of low cost sheilds that were designed for the Arduino. Now a PBP user can use those low cost easily available sheilds in the PIC environment.

OK I think I will order one of these boards, good to know it is compatible with arduino shields. I thought maybe the "shields" prices listed were just some numbers thrown into the web page during construction which would stand out during editing so they could be changed to the "real price" and got missed, My Bad, your shields are Professional, not hobbyist tools.

It would be great if a PBP user were to produce some code examples in PBP to replace the examples in the Amicus18 Companion Shield Manual . I think I could persuade tghe author to release the original document so that it could be modified to support PBP code examples.

Any offers???

Any offers???

I am working on a small article, should have it up tonight.

Hey that would be great, the code examples in the Companion Shield manaul are simple enough, but still PBP users will ahve an easier time if they were to be replaced by PBP examples.

It would be really good to ahve a PBP Companion shield manaul.....I'm sure we could do that if a few PBP users were to produce equivalent code examples and re write a little of the text in the manaual to reflect useing Amicus18 with PBP instead of Proton

It was a tough decision... sleep or work on this.. I slept, so it is late....

I figured starting with MCS and the boot loader would be a good place to begin.

I will do some code later.
