Folks,

I have noted 5 (five) holes on the Scratch Board surface named vc, vp, sc, sd, and GND.
Looking at Scratch Board schematic http://info.scratch.mit.edu/sites/infos … aticR1.pdf these holes are represented by J2.
It seems I can use 2 (two) of them to connect other sensors to the PIC processor on the board (and to Scratch).
Is it that true? Has anybody tried that?
Thanks in advance,

ajbn

I sent a message to PICO company asking about it. The answer was that they "can attach a cable to those holes to reprogram the PicoBoard".
Besides that, if I want use sc and sd holes to attach other sensors, e.g., a 5V accelerometer, I will have to modify the PicoBoard firmware.
Well, it's in my to-do list for a while wink
My best,

You would also have to modify Scratch's interface with the board.

Oh, yes, but that should be the easy (and fun) part wink
