Succes!

I've managed to get my addon board working with my Raspberry pi!

Now you can connect things like the display in the photo, but also the 7-fets board (7* 1A active-low outputs), temperature sensor (LM35, K-type thermocouple), 3-fets (3* 5A active low outputs), servo (drives 7 RC-servos).

In the lower left, you see our ftdi_serial board that allows you to connect TTL-level uart devices to a PC. In this case, the coloured wires could be connected to the UART on the raspberry pi. That was connected up until just a few moments ago. You get the boot messages and a login prompt on there with the recommended debian distro.

Oh, looks very interesting, where can you get the add on board from ? (Still waiting for Pi, but would be good to add it to my pile of kit waiting around a RasPi shaped gap)

Thank you.

I'm a techie. I'm MAKING the stuff. Getting the sales page up is something I don't enjoy doing. Later today, ok?

No rush, I didn't realise you were making them ! (In hindsight, I guess the soldering iron and meter probes should have given it away)

Any information and guidance you do put up is most appreciated though. This is the sort of thing i'd love to do with my Pi, not just using it for XBMC :-)
