Hi,
A group I am working with currently has a working project that uses a Renbotic Servo Shield 2 mounted to an Arduino Uno. We want to make this wireless so they are consider purchasing the Yun and porting the project over. Before we purchase the Yun, we must determine if this is a feasible goal. I have been looking through the documentation for both devices and am still unsure if this will be possible. The following is an excerpt from the Arduno Yun page under the "Input and Output" heading:
" SPI: on the ICSP header. These pins support SPI communication using the SPI library. Note that the SPI pins are not connected to any of the digital I/O pins as they are on the Uno, They are only available on the ICSP connector. This means that if you have a shield that uses SPI, but does NOT have a 6-pin ICSP connector that connects to the Yún's 6-pin ICSP header, the shield will not work."
I am new to the project and unfamiliar with Arduino, so I am having a bit of trouble deciphering what this means in terms of overall compatibility. I have attached the pdf of the manual for the Servo Shield to this post for you to get a better understanding of the Renbotic shield.
Given your experience and the information I have provided, is the Arduino Yun compatible with the Renbotic Servo Shield 2?
Thank you in advance for your help!
