Title: Instructions for shields
Post by: AlanSE on February 05, 2013, 07:34:39 am
In my digispark order I got shields for:

I found the RGB item somewhat self-explanatory.  At least I feel confident I'll be able to put that together.  I'm more lost with the Infrared and MOSFET PCBs.  To be honest I'm not sure what to connect where.  The only information I can find right now is here:

Infrared Shield PCBs
This is setup for most 3-Pin IR receivers such as the TSOP382 and requires the receiver, capacitor, and a resistor - extra proto holes are left on the board for other circuitry. Check this out for more info. (http://allaboutee.com/2011/07/10/arduino-infrared-sensor-code/)
Price: $1.25

MOSFET Shield PCBs These connect a FQP30N06L to one pin of the Digispark for running DC devices up to 35V. Also requires a protection diode and resistor. More info. (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10213)Price: $1.25
The link that the infrared shield gives is helpful.  I can try to work out the needed parts and circuit diagram from that tutorial.  But I'm somewhat lost with the MOSFET.  The link goes to a product that doesn't seem to have the same number of pins (3 versus 4 on the PCB).
Are there any more resources or documents that will help us understand what the PCBs are designed to implement?
