Hi guys!

What do you think about CIKU?

I like the PIC in Arduino form factor. So, I assume that those analog, digital and the communications (I2C, SPI and UART) are identical to that of the Arduino Uno ones? I have some shields like the "Tick-Tock" ones, and I hope that one will fit into this. :)

Hi Brian, Analog, digital, UART and I2C are identical to Arduino UNO. Unfortunately SPI is not, because SPI on 18F4550 are sharing same pins as I2C, so we decided to utilize hardware I2C and develop software SPI.

No 6-pin ISP header spotted. Cannot use it for those shields which utilizes the ISP header for SPI communication. Replaced by Microchip's PICKit instead. Hm... :roll: I like the extra pads at the sides though ;)

Hello there. The features are great enough for most shields. I'm planning to use a Tick-Tock shield there first if I can buy it. :)
