Not CNC related, but I thought that someone here might know the answer. I want to make a rewirable adaptor (OBDII to DB15)
One neat way to do this would be with a matrix, where you plug something into holes and that connects the row to the column. As a CNC link (almost) I think that something like this was used on the MEC Microsprint programmable lathes where things often called "diodes" were plugged into holes to program the machine. I feel that a couple of PCBs. spaced a small distance apart, could have plated-through holes linked by "something" being plugged through them. The problem being to find the "something" that will make contact with two holes at the same time. A single PCB and an array of jumpers would work, but that would be 480 pins to keep track of The plated-hole idea has 240 holes, but only needs 8 plugs to do the programming I need. 2mm banana plugs do exist. https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/banana-connectors/7632907 But I am not sure if they will reliably connect two plated holes. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
