Does anyone have the part numbers for the 2x6 & 2x8 stackable headers that are used on this board. I have found places (SparkFun) that sell the 1x6 and 1x8 headers, but not the 2x6 & 2x8 headers.

the protoboard comes with them if that's any help.

Nice board!

Thanks for the info, but I just want the headers. I need to take a look and see if I can discern a manufacturer. I've used Samtec trackable headers before, but want to use the exact same header as is being used on these boards.

If you figure it out, please post back here and maybe even on the wiki (chipkit.org/wiki). I would be interested in knowing too.

Thanks,

Jacob

I will definitely post the part#s and manufacturer when I find out.

You can buy a stackable header kit from SparkFun. They give you the following headers.

(2)-2x6 (2)-2x8

http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10007

The pins on these headers are not .025" square, but in fact are rectangular. This makes the pins a little weaker and may cause a connection issue.

The SAMTEC part#s are as follows:

TIN PLATED 1x6 --> SSQ-106-03-T-S ($0.422) 1x8 --> SSQ-108-03-T-S ($0.563) 2x6 --> SSQ-106-03-T-D ($0.720) 2x8 --> SSQ-108-03-T-D ($0.961)

You can check out these parts on the Samtec website and it also looks like you can purchase from there as well. I am in the process of designing a motor board for my Open-Robot kit, so I might look into stocking these in the future. Once I order some of these I post what I find out.

I received the above part numbers from Samtec the other day and as always their parts are well made.

I will be receiving my PCBs on Tuesday and will get to try these new headers out.

Finally got my prototype PCBs in. I need to make several changes, but overall work as expected.

This board allows you to control (2) small dc gear-motors, read (2) WW12 wheel encoders and read (2) gp2y0d810z sensors. I used right angle headers, so additional board designs can be stacked. I also allocated a place on the PCB for adding a high-efficiencey RECOM 3.3v regulator. This will be useful when add-on boards are designed for such things as WiFi (MatchPort b/g/ZigBee, etc..).

There is an on/off switch as well.
