MegaBoard Pi Released

The 2nd release candidate PCB successfully completed final testing yesterday and has now been released.  Design documentation files including PCB production files (ExpressPCB and Gerber files) have been uploaded to the project folder for public access at: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7RZGwtUiH7BNkw2OEs0Mnlzb1U&usp=sharing

Pictured here without a clock module and with no Arduino shield fitted, MegaBoard Pi is designed to provide substantial innate interfacing capability as well as unique expansion potential by use of Arduino shields and/or the high-integrity I2C bus.

More options for PCB supply

If you prefer to have your PCBs manufactured by somebody other than ExpressPCB, you might welcome the Gerber files that have recently been uploaded to the various project folders on Google Drive.

Cocktails of Constructional Projects For Raspberry Pi

This blog has been created to provide supporting documentation for people involved in or considering the construction of one or more projects arising from the "cocktail" series of articles published in The MagPi (Issues 10 ~ 15?) during 2013.  For each article published, there will be a blog page to contain the supporting information, principally links to photos, design documentation and program files.

You can also go directly to a spreadsheet with links to all the project design details and cocktail files by clicking here.

NEW RELEASE ...

THE CONJOINED SERIES

The original cocktail files concept involved the grouping together of a few project PCBs that were intended to be separated prior to assembly and use.  The concept has now been expanded to include groupings of project PCBs that are designed for conjoined use but can be separated if the constructor prefers.  Pictured (right) are release versions of InterPi (left with clock module fitted) and InterSPi (right) set up for 5V operation via the looped ICSP cable.  Connectors for InterPi's two  high-integrity I2C bus segments are at lower left.
