I am getting close to being ready to put my complete project together but I don't want a bunch of jumpers into my netduino or to have to use the 9V plug to power it, I want to solder connections directly to the board or have it plug into a header with all the pins through the button of the board. is it possible to get a netduino with out the power port soldered on and with out the headers so I can put my own in? if so where? What other options do I have?

Hi Casmer, There are no Netduinos without power pins attached, but if you borrow a desoldering gun fro a friend you can remove the power barrel fairly easily. Or you could grab a 9V power barrel cable, cut off the end, solder your power supply to those two exposed wires, and then wrap it in electrical tape On the reset of the headers--you can desolder those if you're careful. But it's usually easier to grab a proto board and solder your parts to that. Chris
