+ | mcmaster goal: come up with a standard connector to put on BBB cape | ||
+ | |||
+ | Goals: | ||
+ | * Requirement: | ||
+ | * Use an existing standard | ||
+ | * COTS cables, or at least easily | ||
+ | * Shielded | ||
+ | * Durable | ||
+ | |||
+ | Main candidates: | ||
+ | * DB9 | ||
+ | * Durable connector | ||
+ | * COTS super available | ||
+ | * Shielded | ||
+ | * Breakout boards readily available | ||
+ | * No insustry standard pinout | ||
+ | * I thought Gecko, but that's actually for the motors | ||
+ | * DB25 | ||
+ | * Industry standard connector | ||
+ | * Single and multi versions | ||
+ | * However, too large | ||
+ | * Combicon style connector | ||
+ | * Quick to make | ||
+ | * Can use shielded cables | ||
+ | * Can't buy whole cable, or at least will be expensive | ||
+ | * Wires can stress and fall off | ||
+ | * Used on Gecko and some others, although not consistently | ||
