IIRC, the expansion header on rev5 was moved onto a 0.1" grid, and so should be on the same grid as 3 of the other 4 headers, and hence may 'just work'. But I must add a 'health warning' because I haven't checked.</p> <p>Another alternative, if you can use Eagle, and can either make PCBs or are willing to buy them (try dorkbotpdx.org's <a href="http://oshpark.com/" rel="nofollow">http://oshpark.com/</a> or seeedstudio.com's PCB service), is to design your own.</p> <p>1. Get the Eagle CAD for rev5 e.g. from github,<br /> 2, throw away <strong>EVERYTHING</strong> on the schematic that you don't need, leaving only the headers.<br /> 3. switch to the PCB layout, and the headers and board outline should be okay.<br /> 4. tear up *all* tracks,<br /> 5. set the board layers to "(1*16)".<br /> 6. make yourself a nice pattern of holes (say 1mm diameter) on 0.1" pitch, copy it across the board, and create a "stripboard" pattern which suits your purpose.<br /> 7. get your design made.</p> <p>(Full disclosure: I am not a member of LeafLabs staff.) </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=10202#post-22251 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 20:01:40 +0000 pyrohaz 22251@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>Hey, i've built a project that uses all of the maple pins and having all these wires lying around it a complete ball ache! can anybody direct me in the direction of a purely blank shield? One that simply just links all the pins of the maple to through holes on a pcb?</p> <p>If anyone can help, that'd be really useful :)</p> <p>Also, without having to start a seperate topic, where can I get hold of a suitable li-po battery for the maple? I have the rev5.</p> <p>Thanks, Harris </p>
