Title: Web sharing of pinouts
Post by: farsi on October 21, 2014, 08:45:43 am
Hi,

I am exploring a small idea to share pinouts of devices online. For this, I am mainly looking into Arduino boards, and have built a first prototype:

* Arduino Uno: http://pinboardjs.divshot.io/arduino_uno (http://pinboardjs.divshot.io/arduino_uno)
* Arduino Micro: http://pinboardjs.divshot.io/arduino_micro (http://pinboardjs.divshot.io/arduino_micro)

I am thinking this might be interesting for beginners to find pins, but also to easily share and debug a setup online.

What do you think? Do you work with web browsers when tinkering with a board? What other information might be interesting to have from a browser except the pins locations?

Thanks!

Quite honestly, I don't see the value of it.
Prototyping boards like arduino usually have the names of pins written next to them.
You have datasheets for individual components.

thanks. background is that I found myself googling "pinout arduino" (micro/nano/uno/tessel) all the time, but I have not found easy things in the browser except mostly pictures .

are you having a web browser open to track a project setup? what bookmarks do you use? I thought a nicer way might help some.

any case thanks for your thoughts!

I think you have missed the boat, have a look at this lot
