Is it possible to connect a Moto Mod directly to the Moto mod connector?

gchris

Hello everyone!

 

Is it possible to connect our own Moto Mod design directly to the Moto Mod connector via SPI without using the Moto Mod MuC?

 

We want to communicate directly with our microcontroller, but I didn't find any documentation and ways how you can implement this from the Android side.

I know that Pin 6,8,14 and 16 are the pins we need.

 

Thanks in advance,

Chris

    I admit that I'm a little worried. It looks like talking to the Moto Mod connector on your own might only be possible after getting some "Specifications" about the connector, and the only path to that seems to be to agree to the 'Certified Mod Development and License Agreement', a document long enough to require a lawyer, and looks to be aimed only at other companies who are planning to develop, certify, and sell a mod with Motorola.

     

    As someone interested in using that interface, but not interested in immediately selling a product, this leaves me buying a $125 Moto Mod Developer's Kit (the hardware kit) for each device, and being limited by what it can do (which is a lot, but it's still big and expensive).

     

    I'll be really bummed if it's not possible.
