In shield's pages a "Compatibility section" is missing

Open q2dg opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

For instance...a so simple question like "Is Ethernet Shield compatible with Zero board?" can't be answered anywhere. The answer is supposed to be "No" as Zero works at 3,3V and Ethernet works at 5V but...who knows?

This is only just an example, but it could be extended to other shields and boards. It's a minimum if you want to offer a coherent catalog of products.

Thanks.

P.D: That's another topic, but, it really the answer of above question is "No", that would be very bad

Well, the answer to the question "Is Ethernet Shield compatible with Due board?" seems to be "Yes", (which works at 3,3V like the Zero, so I suppose that it's compatible with it too)... It is said here: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=134560.0

But the issue remains the same: a compatibility table shields/boards must be created. Or at least, if it is not so necessary, it should be clearly marked in a prominent place a message like this more or less "ALL shields are compatible with ALL boards (except this one and this one because of...)"
