I have a question about this portability shield:
It looks like a convenient way to get a 5-way button and display on one board. Is this compatible with any dev boards other than the RTK Postcard? If so, which ones? I’d like to use this on an Arduino board if possible.
Thanks
Physically it is compatible with [
](SparkFun RTK Postcard) only. It can sit directly on that board. If you use jumper wires to make connection then you can use it with other boards. It will not sit on Arduino UNO etc.
My Guess is any SparkFun RTK product running RTK Everywhere firmware will recognize the I2C devices, if you connect with the QWIIC connector/cable.
That’s assuming you wont be using the Li-Po connector (charger, fuel gauge, etc) on the Shield.
Or you can have the 5-way as a breakout.
You will need to look at the source for RTK Everywhere firmware to see which I2C address that it’s expecting for the 5-way (looks like default address 0x20 to me), but these are your choices on the breakout.
