Introducing G120HDR, New Prices and New Gadgeteer Modules

@ Gus - I think the question is are they a u x y or…

Still, see wiki :slight_smile: There is NO gadgeteer socket on the board. there will be no drivers for gasdgeteer for this board. Those connections are only added to help you wire in gadgeteer modules but you have to take the module drivers and use them directly though NETMF, no gadgeteer. You will mainly find this useful for power and LCD, as explained on wiki.

Need U socket, you can wire it, need H socket, you can wire it…etc.

More examples will be added to the wiki page.

@ Gus - fair enough, I ordered a couple this morning so hurry up and put them in the post so I can play :smiley:

Actually, thank you for bringing this up! IO17 is not connected to anything! This will be updated on rev 1.1. Wiki is updated with this info Home - GHI Electronics

@ Gus,

Okay, I will add a wire from the green socket pin 9 to P2.21 when I get my board :slight_smile:

Tradition dictates that it must be a green wire.

@ godefroi - can I safely assume the other sockets would need red and blue wire?

I believe (iirc in the Sparkfun Eagle tutorial) a green wire (traditionally) is what’s used to “fix” a missing route on test PCB.

@ mhectorgato - thanks for that, was wondering if there was some slight sarcasm…see I learn something new everyday :slight_smile:

I believe green was used because it blended in to green PCBs.

@ godefroi - I guess blue is the new green then…

Unless it’s a Gadgeteer power board – then the new blue is red :smiley:

@ mhectorgato - lol

On the G120 brochure, the SPI2 port numbers aren’t shown so they can be referenced to the G120HDR pins…

If I did my research correctly, the NXP1788FET180 show SSP1 port/pins as P0.7/P0.8/P0.9…

So is this correct?:

G120 G120HDR
SPI2 SCK - P0.7
SPI2 MISO - P0.8
SPI2 MOSI - P0.9

Might be useful to update the G120 brochure to show these port/pins so they can be referenced to the G120HDR…

They are not present because they are not available as GPIO. The brochure is correct. Please do not use these pins for any purpose other than SPI.

Gus

Wasn’t planning on using SPI2 for any other purpose…

But as currently documented, if I had a G12HDR and want to use SPI2…I would not know which pins to use…
Not marked as ‘SPI2’ on G120HDR board…and G120 brochure shows ‘SPI2’ but NOT the port/pin numbers…

Excellent observation. Wiki updated and production G120HDR will have this fixed Home - GHI Electronics

Excellent.

Gus, any idea when the G120HDR orders will ship? :slight_smile:

You didn’t get yours yet? :slight_smile:
