Extra output power pin on RBBB board?
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 6:05 pm
This is a suggestion to put an extra (12V power) ground output pin on the RBBB PCB, such that it can also be used on a breadboard.
The output power pins (12V and ground) are now above each other. They will short-cut if the RBBB is pushed into a breadboard.
I noted that the layout on the RBBB PCB allows to re-root the 12V output a bit, and then there will be space to put an extra ground pin side by side with the 12V output pin.
The 2 output pins can then be soldered vertically or horizontally, keeping the board backwards compatible.
Maybe a suggestion to implement in a next version of the RBBB PCB?
