New Product Ideas / LiPo Shield

« on: March 07, 2016, 07:18:05 PM »

You sell lipo's that are sized nicely for the tiny duino, but it would be nice to have a lipo as an actual shield (stackable of course for more capacity!)

New Product Ideas / protoboard microconnector plugs/wires

« on: March 07, 2016, 07:15:34 PM »

Soldering is great for final product, but would be handy to have plugable wires that fit into the protoboard holes.

Something like this:

Or even a special proto-board with wires/connectors similar to the 433mhz shield antenna that looks like these:

New Product Ideas / longer mounting screws

« on: March 07, 2016, 07:08:38 PM »

I sometimes find 4 boards a bit limiting, I can work around by mounting 2 screws higher and 2 screws lower (hence only 2 screws holding a few of the boards) but would prefer dedicated mounting screws for larger stacks.  More mounting screw choices in general would be great.

New Product Ideas / gap connector (without shield)

« on: March 07, 2016, 07:03:23 PM »

The connector (double-sided) that is on most shields, but without the actual shield board.  To allow leaving a larger gap between boards (for heatsinking, or space for proto-board wiring on the double-sided connector protoboards.
...
----- <- other boards
 -
 -      <- gap connector
 -
----- <- proto board
 -
----- <- processor board
...
Pretty much like the ribbon connector but without the actual ribbon in the way.

This could also be used to jam a lipo in the gap between boards and keep things nice and clean.
