Amicus18 Companion Shield
A shield is a PCB that fits over the Amicus18 board and provides extra functionality, such as Ethernet,
Motor control, LCD, Smartcard, GPS, GSM etc…
All Arduino shields will physically fit on the Amicus18, however, Arduino source code is not compatible
with Amicus18, as they differ in two very crucial aspects. First, the Amicus uses a Microchip PICmicro
for it’s microcontroller, while the Arduino uses an Atmel AVR microcontroller. The Arduino uses a subset
of the language C, where as the Amicus18’s supplied language is BASIC.However, there is no reason
that any PICmicro language cannot be used with Amicus18, in fact, it’s encouraged.
The entry level shield, and in the authors opinion, the most useful, is the Companion shield. This is a
PCB laid out in the pattern of a solderless breadboard. The holes are single sided, which means that
components can easily be removed using solder mop braid, or a solder vacuum tool, if a mistake is
made, or components need to be re-used. |
