That was the
challenge, to get all those Arduino Mega lines to connectors.
I had to keep moving
and flipping them to keep close to the Mega.
The 50 port pins and
256K of memory should really be nice.
But, the size has to
go up.
I have used the I2C
for a serial 20x4 LCD.?? Don't even use the LCD connector.

I am sure many will be interested in your new
board Mike!
Three questions:
1) dimensions?? It looks like it could be around
75mm deep and 85mm wide which may challenge existing
enclosures.
2) is there an i2c connector?? It would be
helpful to be able to expand to use other i2c devices (e.g.
temperature sensors, digital pots, etc.)
3) cost?
4) is there room topside to mount a dupont
display connector if you dont want to attach directly to the
1602 or 2004 display (ie cable connect).? This would enable
the card to be mounted alongside the Bitx40 or on top of the
Bitx40 board using standoffs.
It looks like something I would be interested in
acquiring!

A New Baby
(and Banana) have been Hatched!
RaduinoXP
Been working on this Big Boy for a month now.? Completely
compatible
with BitX.? Has the one connector (5Pin) that has +12, Gnd,
and Clock
for BitX.
Uses Mega 2560 Pro Embed Arduino.
Just like RaduinoX, just connect that one 5 pin Molex to get
BitX going.
Full of connectors!!? 14 of them.? 50 Digital Pins and 16
Analog.
12 Pin Molex have 10 pins for I/O and +5 and Ground.
Like RaduinoX, I2C are level shifted to 3.3 to the SI5351.
Heat Sink on the +5V regulator with diode and filtering.
Double Sided and well laid out with lots of ground plane on
bottom.
Mounts standard LCD or 4x20 as shown in the pictures.
It is a compact as I could get it, but may still not fit
enclosures
already built.
This is Debug board.? A new order of PCBs will arrive next
week.
Yes, I am tossing out the first order of PCBs (I screwed up
4 lines).
