Where is basic documentation???

Products & Technology Arduino & Seeeduino
#1

Hi,
Where is basic information, pinouts etc. for Seeeduino? Switch settings?

How about for other products, Electronic Bricks etc??

Am I missing this on the main site page???

Thanks!

Yes, Where is the documentation? I have just recently ordered a seeeduino V328 for the sole purpose of being able to use the extra A6 and A7 analogue inputs. I was hoping to read up beforehand about how to use them using the Arduino development environment but have come up with nothing after doing a search on the internet. I joined this forum in the hope that some documentation would be available. The Hello_Seeeduino.pdf is no help… Can I simply make reference to them using the AnalogRead() function call, i.e. will AnalogRead(6) and AnalogRead(7) work…? Also, in terms of power supply can I simply provide 12v to the Vin pin as on the Arduino boards and if so, what would be the PWR switch settings?

Thanks.

I am using the Seeeduino V2.2 (328) as " Duemilanove 328" and it works and compiles usual stuff OK…

When I try to set “pinMode” it accepts A6 and A7 but errors on A8 and above, like this:
---------------------( COPY )--------------------------
pinMode(A5, INPUT);
pinMode(A6, INPUT);
pinMode(A7, INPUT);
// pinMode(A8, INPUT); //Causes error: (which I consider GoodNess…)
—( error: ‘A8’ was not declared in this scope )—

int a = analogRead(A7); //Compiles OK

-----------------( END COPY )----------------------
So, it APPEARS to work… I’ll check when I can that it ACTUALLY works…

AND, considering those pins as Digital (Like we can with A0 to A5 equaling Digital 14 to 18 ), this all compiles OK:
---------------------( COPY )--------------------------
pinMode(19,OUTPUT);
pinMode(20,OUTPUT);
pinMode(25,OUTPUT); // !!! Uh Oh, where is THAT data going?? No Error!
-----------------( END COPY )----------------------

Seeed, can you please clear this up???

Sorry guys, they have been absent for too long time. We are preparing the documents now by inviting freelancers, you will see them in Garden garden.seeedstudio.com/ and product page pretty soon.

Thanks for lifting the issue!

Is there a way to mod the bootloader? I can not get even the basic stuff to upload with Diecimila or Duemilanove board settings. Lights flash and that’s it. The board hangs.

I don’t know why I gave this board the benefit of the doubt. I swore I saw people using it in other forums. Is it the 328P, the new Arduino 0022, or do I have a lemon.

But honestly, a little support would be nice.

I have Seeeduino328 too. I use arduino022 software. I selected Duelimanove 328. It “just works” for me.

Mine came with the switches set in +5V, automatic reset. Check if yours are like that.
