New Product Ideas / Plain Double Sided Connector (Extender)

« on: February 15, 2013, 12:38:53 AM »

Just a connector that can be used as a spacer in between two boards. This way tall shields don't have to be pushed up to the top of the stack, they can be in the middle somewhere. And for really really tall shields, two (or more) connectors can be stacked on top of each other.

New Product Ideas / Stackable Ribbon Cable Connectors

« on: September 30, 2012, 11:49:07 PM »

I got this idea while reading baldrik24's reply to the brushless motor controller post, so I'm fine if it isn't considered my idea.

* edit * DaveChambers also has a similar idea in the same post.

A ribbon cable with stackable, mini connectors on both sides. The connectors could have both male and female sides to fit in between two shields if needed. There could also be different sizes of cables offered because I know a 32 wire ribbon cable is pretty unwieldy, or just find a different kind of cable that is more densely packed.

This would allow any tinyshield to be remotely mounted, other shields to still be added to either side, and possibly to connect  a chain of shields together.
