Croduino Basic2 Arduino shield compatibility and memory for Scratch programs

Customer:

I have several questions about your products. Are Arduino shields compatible with Croduino boards? From what I understand they aren’t, but I wanted to verify with you to be sure. Next, I’m interested in the memory size on the boards. Specifically, I want to upload Scratch programs via the ScratchX plugin. For this reason it’s important to me whether the controller will have enough memory for both the firmware and the program we upload. I’m asking specifically about a public school in the Zagreb area. I’m interested in 10 Croduino Basic2 starter sets. There’s also the option of purchasing an Arduino adapter if Croduino doesn’t support Arduino shields directly. Do you have the ability to co-finance components for educational institutions?

imam par pitanja u vezi vaših proizvoda. Možete li mi reći jesu li Arduino shieldovi kompatibilni sa Croduino pločicama. Koliko sam ja shvatio nisu, ali sam htio provjeriti s vama da budem siguran. Sljedeće što me zanima je kolika je veličina memorije na pločicama? Ono za što sam ja zainteresiran je uploadanje Scratch programa putem plugin-a ScratchX. Zbog toga mi je bitno hoće li na kontroleru biti dovoljno memorije i za firmware i za program koji uploadamo. Konkretno pričam o javnom učilištu na području Zagreba? Ono za što sam zainteresiran je 10 komada Crudino Basic2 početničkih setova. Osim toga postoji i opcija nabavke Arduino adaptera ukoliko Croduino ne podržava Arduino shiledove direktno. Imate li mogućnost sufinanciranja komponenata za obrazovne ustanove? Ukoliko takva mogućnost postoji mi bismo naravno to kompenzirali promocijom vaše tvrtke u našim radioniocama i na našim promo materijalima.

Soldered Support:

Arduino shields are not compatible with Croduino boards - Croduino boards are significantly smaller (3x5cm). If you want to use Arduino shields with Croduino, you will need an adapter that allows easy use or you can connect them with wires. The memory specifications are: flash - 32kB, RAM - 2kB, EEPROM - 1kB. You’re interested in flash, so 32kB, the same as on standard Arduino boards like the Uno. I’m not sure what you mean by “co-finance”, so please clarify with more details and make a specific proposal.

hvala Vam na javljanju i pitanjima. Arduino shieldovi ne odgovaraju Croduino pločicama - Croduino pločice su dosta manje(3x5cm). Ako želite koristiti Arduino shieldove s Croduinom, trebat ćete adapter koji omogućava lako korištenje ili spojiti žicama. Soldered: Open-Source Electronics, Boards, Sensors & Modules – Soldered Electronics Količina memorije je: flash - 32kB, RAM - 2kB, EEPROM - 1kB. Vas zanima flash, dakle 32kB, kao i na standardnim Arduino pločicama kao što je Uno. Ne znam što podrazumijevate pod “sufinanciranjem” pa Vas molim da s malo više detalja pojasnite i konkretno predložite :slight_smile:
