Lacking Information about shields #2
Description
It is very difficult to get the ITDB02 and its shield working, because the
needed information is hard to find.
There are two shields : one for Uno (and compatibles) and one for MEGA. These
shields contains resistors for the ITDB02 because it requires 3V3 working.
In addition, the ITDB itself includes a SD (full size) interface, while the
shields include a RTC with battery holder.
Unfortunately, there lacks clear information on how to get all this working.
For example, the manual does not state the type of battery for the RTC. The
v1.2 and v1.3 libraries are not compatible, because as V1.3 supports other
types of LCD, some function calls are changed.
There is no mention either of which pins are used for the RTC and the SD
interface. Maybe these are the "same as usual", but for newbies, nothing is
usual.
I would strongly suggest the manual to include the full schematic of the
shield, so that it would be possible to easily find back teh information that
is lacking.
