Power dock & arduino dock
-
Hello, can anyone tell me if there's a way to use power dock and arduino dock together ?
Note : i'm newbie) And my question is about: Use arduino dock and power dock( to power the Omega and charge the battery)
-
@leo-moura well, the omega2 is a "stackable" module system , so my guess would be that it would work but [my guesses are less than 100% correct these days] i suggest to contact onion by entering a ticket into the support system.

@Douglas-Kryder The Extensions are stackable - the Docks are not.

Power Dock 2 (PD2) with Omega2(+) & Arduino Dock 2 (AD2) without Omega2(+)
It seems this can be a useful but maybe not the most economical configuration.You should connect (theoretically - I have not tried this yet)
-
the Expansion Header of PD2 to Omega's socket of AD2 - for example in this way
SCL - SCL
SDA - SDA
RX1 - RX1
TX1 - TX1
for ICSP (for example)
GPIO0 - GPIO15GPIO1 - GPIO15 (sck = 1)
GPIO2 - GPIO16 (mosi = 2)
GPIO3 - GPIO17 (miso = 3)
GPIO19 - GPIO19 (reset = ~19)
Note: avrdude has some problem with 'sck = 0' (ie. GPIO0) ?! -
the Expansion Header of PD2 to the Expansion Header of AD2
5V - 5V
GND - GND
You should install
arduino-dock-2and slightly modify theavrdude.confandarduino-dock-lib.shfiles.Good luck!

hi, since i own each of the modules and the arduino & expansion dock i pretty much was aware that physically it is not possible to "stack" them i used "stackable" in my earlier post in quotes to indicate that most elements are easy to interface although now i realize i should should have just said easy to interface. anyway, your reply to the OP clearly explains what i figured was possible but was unable to explain as well as you did.

@leo-moura Sorry!
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.
I connected a first version of PD (using GPIO
01, 2, 3 and 6 instead of01, 2, 3 and 19) and an AD2 with ~10cm / ~4" wires on the above mentioned way.
Note: firstly I tried to use GPIO 0,1,2 and 3 but avrdude has some problem with 'sck = 0' (ie. GPIO0) ?!
There isn't any boot problem due to GPIOs.
The I2C and the serial connection between the two boards are OK- maybe.
The ICSPis not working at allworks but it's fairly unstable. Probably those "too long" wires and the TXS0108E level shifter cause the problems.
BTW there are some parasitic logical oscillation - the pulse waveforms of some pins are very-very "dirty". A faulty oscilloscope probe caused these problems.So it seems this arrangement isn't working too well. Unfortunately.
It was a quick "test" only. Further investigations and more spare time are needed. Is it worth it?
I'm really sorry.

@György-Farkas thank you so much for all informations .
