Rewired the pins such that PWM pins end up dat PWM pins, I2C at I2C, Analog at analog, SPI at SPI. (some sacrifices have to be made... only 4 analog pins and 4 PWM pins versus 6 of each in Arduino). But in general most Arduino shields should work 1:1. The 3.3V regulator is also on the board and a resistor network for the RESET (5V->3.3V) so it is a direct plug-in for the ATMEG328P. I had Tinybasic running on the Arduino, but became tired of fixing bugs in Tinybasic, and adding features to it, in this minimal RAM space. Decided to replace the hardware.... Geoff and others have done a great job in creating MMbasic. I know from Tinybasic how hard it is (and I even leapfrogged on earlier work). PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS
