Hi,
I'm integrating Netduino in a project by putting it on top of another board (larger board). I had a few solutions however none are as elegant as:
- Receiving a Netduino Plus with everything installed except side connectors (hopefully also Ethernet and power barrel) then I solder similar connectors with longer pins which then is soldered to the second board.
Right now I use another good solution however that's not ideal. I put longer connectors on the main board (connectors with longer pins) then push the Netduino Board from below. It works but Netduino is below the main board, I want to have it on top.
Another solution I came up with is to reverse Netduino (bottom-up) and push it on headers with long pins on the main board. This is the solution I go next time if there is no Netduino Plus minus connectors are found.
I tried having the connectors out (manual work with solder iron), it is messy and connectors may not be reliable for production.
Thoughts?
Can I get Netduino Plus Board without side connectors installed (or ethernet /power barrel)

Hi orange,
Have you tried using a desoldering gun? I've taken the headers off of a Netduino before.
I wish there was a good way to make you a special board with the parts missing

Hi Chris,
I manually did that but time would tell if soldering new items on bottom side works or undoldering damage connections in the via/holes.
Another question. Is it possible to get PCB file of Netduino? (or similar)
I tried a dozen times printing a PCB and putting Netduino Plus on it to get distances correct to match the second board but in the end still I get 0.05 inch distance off.
I need to know power, ethernet distance from side connectors.
Thanks

Hi Orange,
Sure, no problem. Here you go (from the Downloads page):
http://www.netduino....opluslayout.zip
You can grab a free copy of the Allegro Cadence viewer to open the files...and measure or make your own design.
