Cuckoo birds are brood parasites, they use other birds’ nests to grow their hatchlings. Mother Cuckoo carefully selects existing nests and puts an egg, only one egg per nest. When Baby Cuckoo hatches, most of the time before other eggs, it just pushes them out the nest. This is its very first instinct, probably not the most rewarding one… Adoptive parents are now only focused on Baby Cuckoo and feed it graciously, with profusion.
This gave me an idea for a new Jaluino family board…

Disclaimer, warnings, caution
Don’t do this, don’t read this, close this page, because what is following will break your Arduino board, it will disintegrate it, it won’t work anymore, you’ll just have to throw it away. Unusable. This is extreme Arduino, this is Forbidden Arduino. Do it at your own risk, if you completely and undoubtedly know what you’re doing, because I’m not responsible in anyway for anything that would occur before, while and after, for decades and decades. And much more.
This is not for the faint of heart.

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

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.
