We do now! I just added the clock and pong to the MicroView Library GitHub repo.
-
Try contacting technical support. Explain your Edison’s setup and they should be able to help you out.
-
There’s a bit of info about this header in the hookup guide.
Those pins deliver power to the Edison’s VSYS bus, which is regulated to 3.3V by the Edison. It won’t charge a LiPo, but the LiPo supply voltage is within the tolerable range of that supply. It’s definitely recommended to only use one supply at a time.
-
We’re working on a tutorial, it should be out this week.
For now, we’ve got some example code in the GitHub repository. It’s an example client for Firmata, which you’ll need to load on the Arduino first.
-
D2 and D3 is correct for this version of the FIO; it uses the ATmega32U4, which has those pins assigned to I2C.
You’re right that any Arduino that uses an ATmega328 (like the Uno, Pro Mini, Pro, etc.) would have the I2C pins on A4/A5.
-
We’ve posted some example code in the GitHub repo to help get started. Tutorial’s coming soon!
-
We’ve got some example code in the GitHub repo, and there’ll be a tutorial posted shortly. For help getting started with the code, check out our Programming the Edison tutorial.
-
There isn’t anything built into the board to allow this, but there is a creative way to power them independently: apply your motor’s power to the Ardumoto Shield’s VIN supply input. Traditionally this power signal is routed to the Arduino’s VIN pin to power that board as well, but you can avoid connecting it to the Arduino by either snipping that header pin or bending it slightly outward so it doesn’t slot into the Arduino’s female header. Then you can power the Arduino independently with 5V/USB/etc.
-
There’s the datasheet for the SSD1306, which is the driver IC embedded inside the display. You may also be able to glean some information from the Arduino library.
-
Unfortunately it’s not accessible. We broke out everything we could on the board, but the FR pin doesn’t look like it’s passed through on the OLED’s 28-pin ribbon connector.
