Expansion I/O mechanically interferes with SDCARD/MIPI jacks

Open 57Bravo opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I want to make a shield like PCB for the side expansion I/O. Unfortunately the pins would interfere with the SDCARD/MIPI jacks.

I don't care so much about the MIPI jack, but I imagine I'll be inserting/removing the SDCARD a bunch. Unfortunately the 3 pins that interfere on the SD side are I2C. I'd like to use those guys for sensor integration.

In V2 (if you keep the 0.1" I/O), slide the headers down a little so this interference is avoided.

This is what I want to do with the expansion:

Here's what I ended up with mechanically to work around this. The intent is to trim the header pins once soldered.
