How do you mount a Mega on a PCB?
I'm using a Arduino Mega for a project and wanted to use Fritzing to create a PCB layout. The footprint for the Mega reflects the pinout of the motherboard. If I create a pin pattern on the board to mount the Mega directly to the board, then the pins need to be reversed. The Mega is flipped over and mounted face down on the PCB reversing the pinout.
I cannot find a pinout that reflects the Mega face down on a PCB. I would assume that is the way to install the board and not have a collection of jumpers running from the Mega board back to the PCB. If anyone has an insight I would welcome the input?




I have a baseboard, as I do a lot of wire-wrapping. If you add a wire wrap to a post then putting a shield on top is out of the question. So what I do Is to put the Mega as a kit that is without the headers soldered in place.. I use the headers on the baseboard and then I use long-tail headers on the MEGA.
