Pounder may seat properly with pins incorrectly aligned #93
Comments
Don't the connectors interfere? After all those are tub-style and I don't see how they could mate with an offset. |
There's enough clearance such that it still fits. I don't notice much difference in the force required either. |
Ok. Then let's look for keyed female connectors. |
Are you able to mount spacers? I don't think so. They are included in the BOM, so should be mounted. |
I tried to find suitable connectors with the right height and it was tough. Maybe would be good to glue in 2mm pieces of some plastics into the Stabilizer connector edges. |
The spacers were not supplied. |
Maybe we could just use an oversized Samtec ESW-1xx-23-L-D to resolve this. Since the current size fits fine at +-1 row offset, we should just use that part with two more (unused) rows so it can't be inserted at an offset. |
I added holes that enable assembly of oversized connections. It needs testing first |
When mounting Pounder onto stabilizer, it's possible to inadvertently connect Pounder incorrectly onto the Stabilizer headers. Specifically, Pounder will properly seat 1 pin too high or low on the board.
When this occurs, it can be difficult to visibly see the alignment issue, but I have observed that my power supply begins to encounter over-current conditions on boot (presumably due to some short-circuit condition). We should likely select components such that incorrectly seating the device is not possible.
