Here’s a simple design for a little “Proto Board” which covers all the port headers and the ISP/SPI connector:
The PWR/I2C header on the JeeNode is not covered by this board. I’m still exploring some options, hence the unmarked rectangle at the right end. The board is deliberately slightly asymmetric, to make it easier to remember which way it goes on.
Holes will be plated through as always, with text labels on the other side as well.
I’m considering not adding any connections to allow all solder pads to be used in various ways. This does mean wires need to be attached directly to the header pins to use them.
Just exploring for now – I’ll probably add this to the next panel prototype run, just to see how it works out.
