Dear all,
I'm wondering if I can use a UNO-based shield (i.e., Grove Base Shield) on Arduino Yún. Grove Base Shield is based on AVR MCU, which is different from ARM MCU on Arduino Yún. However, the layout of the pins on Grove Base shield is compatible with Arduino Yun.
Are there anyone use Grove Base Shield on Arduino Yún?
Can I use Arduino Yún to store/sent measurements from the sensors via Grove Base Shield?
Thanks.

Then Yun doesn't have an ARM chip!
And it has a Leonardo compatible AVR ATmega32u4 MCU in addition to a MIPS CPU based Linux for the WiFi/Ethernet functionality...
So all Arduino 1.0 pinout compatible shields should work just fine on a Yun, including the one you are trying to use (I haven't used this myself though!).
However, in order to use the special Yun features like WiFi or Ethernet, you need to access those via the additional "Bridge" library, they are not accessible via the "normal" WiFi/Ethernet libraries for an AVR based Arduino...
hth,
