This is a breakout board for the expansion board connector of the ClockworkPi uConsole. You can place small breakout boards into it, and connect them to the uConsole, internally.
*This is a WIP. I need to receive the first batch I ordered to test everything is correct. You can help me verify this files in the meantime. Use with caution.
This is designed to work with breakout boards, like these:

... And almost everything!
The intended use is to place the components in a way all the pins can be wired, and glue or solder them to the board. Then, you can draw traces of tin over the grid, like in this video:
However, I strongly recomend to better use wires. Wires can be bent, and them can cross also; and is less harmful to the board. You can bend and cross the wires like Ben Eater does for his breadboard computer.

Recommmended Way | |
Simplest way |
- 2xUSB-C, 2xUSB-A (1 internal), USB2emmc (internal), Radxa emmc module.
- 3xUSB-C, 1xUSB-A (1 internal), RTL-SDRv4 (usb dongle, internal)
- RP2040 as board microcontroller + something.
- ESP32 as board microcontroller + something.
- ... expose microcontroller's GPIO through a horizontal pinheader!
- ... or add sensors and modules!
- ... spare data lines can be used as USB!
- You can try to replicate an existing expansion board with breakout boards with this!
(TODO) (First I need to receive the first batch. Star this repo to keep updated) ||
