uConsole Universal Expansion Board

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.

Examples of components you can mount on:

This is designed to work with breakout boards, like these:

... And almost everything!

How to use the board

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.

Example Recipes

  • 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!
