Having now published the Spectrum Backplane (Which can be found on the Projects page), I thought it was time to update the expansion connections. I have a few interfaces that have edge connectors that lay the device down horizontally, but most interfaces have connectors that make them stand vertically. To enable use of these interfaces, I’ve designed a board to make an easy connection to the Backplane.

A set of pin headers will be soldered to this board and then an interface will mount as usual. This assembly can then be plugged into the Backplane via the expansion pin header positions. The PCBs are currently being fabricated and the design files will be posted on the Projects page once proved.

Meanwhile, I’ve been working on another very special project. This one, I will keep under wraps until I know it is operational. I am just waiting for the final few components to arrive before assembly and testing. I’m very much looking forward to sharing the design files – More on this very soon!
