Last minute changes to pyboard? #5

Open dpgeorge opened 10 years ago

dpgeorge commented 10 years ago

It's the eleventh hour (or perhaps the thirteenth!), but there are 2 small things that maybe should be changed before all the boards are made:

  1. Align mounting holes on a 0.1" grid. This requires moving them up/down and out a little bit. Apart from being consistent, it matters if you want to put 2 boards side-by-side and have the mounting holes line up.
  2. Change label of skin pins to start at 0 instead of 1 (eg X0, X1,... instead of X1, X2, ...). Starting at 1 makes sense if they label the physical pin. Starting at 0 makes sense if they label logical port numbers.

Any suggestions?

Makes sense, both. I think you should ignore pin numbers on the chip package and label the same way they are represented in software. Can't see why the physical pin number would matter.

Both sound like excellent things to do :-) any issues with board thickness ? and sd card clearance ? usb clearance (you know for different styles of mouldings around plugs)..

dpgeorge commented 10 years ago

The board is pretty thick and strong. The SD card and USB are as far apart as possible to make sure they clear each other. The micro USB cables I've tried all fit.
