Hi Mychaela, One possibility is to buy eg. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/573 and solder wires from this socket to the pads on the FCDEV3B, which seems not too difficult, and thus an interesting possibility for those looking to acquire a FCDEV3B at reduced price and some small amount of rework. --DS _______________________________________________ Community mailing list Community@freecalypso.org https://www.freecalypso.org/mailman/listinfo/community
