That sounds like a job a simple cape would do well -- the cape could have a larger size than the BBB board if you wanted to break out every signal. I'm sure there are eagle files available for the standard cape footprint -- you could very easily lay this out yourself hand have (e.g.) seeedstudio's PCB service fabricate it. The only minor disadvantages would be increased height (but put the screw terminals on the bottom of the cape if that's important), and an extra mechanical connection, which theoretically could affect reliability. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
