mbeDshield

(13.July.2015) updated to 0.6.0

(01.May.2014) started sales of 0.5.0! http://www.switch-science.com/catalog/1717/
(13.March.2014) updated to 0.5.0

This is a pin conversion PCB from mbed 1768/11U24 to arduino UNO.

  • So if you have both mbed and arduino shields, I guess you would be happy with such a conversion board :)

BIG changes from previous version

  1. Ethernet RJ45 connector is removed.
    1. http://mbed.org/components/Seeed-Ethernet-Shield-V20/ is the biggest hint to use Ethernet!
  2. Most ALL of components can be bought at Akizuki http://akizukidenshi.com/
    1. But sorry, they do not send parts to abroad
  3. Pinout is changed!

This design has bug(s)

  1. no bug found for 0.6.0 so far

Fixed bugs here

  1. I2C functional pin differs between 1768 and 11U24(0.5.0 issue)
    1. This has been fixed from 0.6.0
  2. MiniUSB cable cannot be connected on mbed if you solder high-height electrolytic capacitor on C3(0.4.0 issue)
    1. This has been fixed from 0.5.0: http://akizukidenshi.com/catalog/g/gP-05002/ is the solution to make this 100% AKIZUKI parts!
  3. the 6-pin ISP port is not inprimented (0.4.0 issue)
    1. This has been fixed from 0.5.0

I am doing some porting to use existing arduino shields but it may faster if you do it by yourself...

you can use arduino PinName "A0-A5,D0-D13" plus backside SPI and I2C ports for easier porting.

To do this you have to edit PinName enum in

  • "mbed/TARGET_LPC1768/PinNames.h" or
  • "mbed/TARGET_LPC11U24/PinNames.h" as per your target mbed.

here is the actual list: This list includes define switch to switch pin assignment

part_of_PinNames.h

        USBRX = P0_3,
