Title: A13-SOM breakout board ?
Post by: bruceuk on January 09, 2015, 06:28:13 PM

Hi

Wanted to ask if anybody has designed and sells an A13-SOM "break out" board ....the existing female header pins are too small for my breadboard cables.

How are other testing components or connecting to  breadboard?

Thanks
Bruce

I think Olimex sell a cable or the like that will be good enough.

Hi,
You can try the 'A13-SOM-WIFI' board(expensive though). You can solder 'L' male pin headers on it to directly connect to a bread board. Or you can use 40 pin ide cable(without key) on it.

Thanks Danss70, would prefer not to purchase the wifi ....just look "clunky" :)

FYI to anybody else needing to connect to A13-SOM. I found these:

Looks like a straight forward adapter which will hopefully help.
