FIO footprint is unusable #3016

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
the orientation of the Arduino FIO in all views would require placing the 
header pins on the same side of the board as the XBee socket, and then the XBee 
whip antenna or external antenna connector would interfere with the board 
connected to.  Fritzing does not allow "flipping" this part, thus it is 
impossible to properly represent a FIO in a design.

Here is what the FIO looks like on a breadboard in Fritzing:

Here are examples of what a FIO looks like in actual projects:

note they are all mounted "upside down" vs the Fritzing part.
