RaspiB+ and PiBOW

Mon Jul 21, 2014 9:20 am

So I dived in and now have a nice shiny B+ inside a POMORONI PiBow which advertised 'all you need' etc, to get me started. Has anyone managed to plug in to the GPIO pins a cobbler or some such to extend these outside the PiBOW, without first detroying the PiBOW too much?. Grateful for pictures/instructions. Thank you for any such help.

Easier to use the Pibow Coupe case - that allows you to plug stuff in to the GPIO as it has a cut out. Just tried it with a Pibrella and it works fine.

Many thenks. <fx:shamefaced grin> I should have read about the differences between the coupe and the PiBow. If my ageing eyes let me, I'll try to mod the PiBow, and take a flat cable out through the side, knowing the coupe is there if I make a hash of it.

Now, all I need on my way to heaven is for someone to sweat at making a simple one-click Lazarus upgrade/update package.
