A really simple breakout for P1

[butchalline]

I don't know if this is the proper place for this, but here it is:

Here is a simple way to connect the P1 pins on the RPi to a solderless prototyping board. No modifications or soldering are required. It uses an old computer cable and long, breakaway header pins. Do not be tempted to trim the computer cable or else you will lose the lock feature of the IDC connector. Just leave the cable as-is and be sure to check your connections BEFORE connect anything to your Rpi. Here are the pix that should save a thousand words..

Barf ! I could not post pix. If someone would be kind enough to show me how to insert a picture or image into this text, I would be happy to finish this post.

Thanks

60K photo size limit is too small, so I posted the pix here:
