Jaluino Cuckoo logo

Jaluino Cuckoo logo

 

Though Jaluino Cuckoo doesn’t even exist, though I don’t even if it can exist, I thought it was important to design a dedicated logo.

I can’t wait to see it on professional PCB :)

 

Cheers,
Seb

Jaluino Cuckoo meets Arduino

In last post, Jaluino Cuckoo has been briefly exposed, at least this is what I have i mind… The idea is to “parasite” the Arduino and put an small board with a Microchip PIC microcontroller, instead off Atmel chip. Just like brood parasite cuckoo birds squat in other species nests.

Now it’s time to actually see how Jaluino Cuckoo could map Arduino pins. That is, we need to define which PIC’s pins are mapped with Arduino’s pins. This is an important step, as Atmel and Microchip chips are quite different, with different features, so a 100% mapping is hard to have, if not impossible. In the end, this is about making good compromises.
