Hello,

I understood that you don't want to publish the pcb design files, maybe later, ok.

But can you publish the general shape, dimension, connectors and pinout design files, this would help us to develop some extension boards with a correct footprint, etc.

Thank you for your help.

The pinout for the GPIO is on the Wiki I think, along with approximate drawings of the board itself.

I am looking for the eagle/kicad files with the GPIO connector footprint, the "reserved" area on the PCB, the connectors footprint, the bord size, etc.

I don't want to create a copy, just extension boards based on the official design.

Thank you for your help.

The GPIO connector has been described as standard 0.1" pitch. There are plenty of pictures from which you can see it is 2x13 standard through hole. So why do you want a footprint?

From those same pictures you can estimate where it is on the PCB. The board dimensions have been provided.

Based on that information there are already two designs out: A zigbee carrier board and a Opto isolated board.

If all that is not enough I am afraid you have to wait till you have access to a physical board.

Oh and you will not be able to get eagle/kicad CAD file from the board as they don't exist. The board is designed with a different CAD program.
