Perhaps the most interesting information would be: - in general, how much does it cost to make the sort of shields we have in GTA02 (maybe just show him the FreeRunner) in prototype quantities. - in general, is this kind of shields a good choice or are there better ones ? It's intentional that most of the shields are removeable, and such shields are more expensive than non-removeable ones. - if he'd have to DIY, how would he do it ? Assume the availability of a 3D CNC mill and shops that sell thin metals sheets, particularly brass. > I suppose the most pressing need is that of a new GSM shield because the > Telit module is too tall for the existing one. The GSM module already comes with a shield, so I don't think we need anything else there. > WLAN is moving to the main > PCB and we want it in a separate shield, right? Yup, that would be most likely candidate for a new shield. I wouldn't put too much effort into this, though - the AR6001 is obsolete anyway, so all this would really amount to is an exercise in shield-making. Thus, I'm not sure we'll actually make any new shields for gta02-core. But it will be good to know what our options are if we have to make shields.
