I gave the 0.1" connectors some thought, and here is what I have come up with:
1. The reason I went with 2mm spacing connectors is to meet the small board size requested with many features (GPS, 6 digits, analog inputs, etc). The 26 pin 0.1" is too big for this application. 2. The cost of 2mm connectors seems to be about the same if not lower than the 0.1" 3. However, I understand why you want 0.1" connectors - proto boards. I have thought of a solution that I can offer as an accessory when the board is ready for sale. I could build an adapter that would be a small circuit card with a 2mm spaced headers on one side, and 0.1" connectors on the other side (the 2 0.1" connectors would be spaced so as to fit into a 0.1" proto board. It would not be bigger than the micro board, and have a low profile. Or a cable with a 0.1" connector on one end, and the other side could have the wires soldered to the micro nixie board instead of a 2mm connector. Would this work?
