[OpenTRV-dev] Custom Arduino shield

[Damon Hart-Davis]

Hi,

Yes, I think that that's a decent goal, so that of nothing else people can run all or part of their systems actually on an unmodified Arduino for example.  The biggest issue there is likely to be level shifting for (for example) the RFM23 that would not enjoy 5V.

And even if we end up with more compact designs, thinking of it from the point of view of designing a shield would help gel what pins to use for what. In particular, one of the good points he has in the video is that you'd want a custom shield to be compatible with other standard shields such as the Ethernet or the Wi-Fi one so that they can work together.
