How about an Xbee board for QS?

[Oldbitcollector (Jeff)]

Started working on an QS Xbee board this morning.. Any feature you Xbee users would like to have?

(RevA, still sanding the edges.... ;) )

Full size SD socket.

Ouch! Settle for connections for a microSD module? ;)

That would probably be acceptable.

Are ya’ll going to see these as blank boards, kits or both?

[Oldbitcollector (Jeff)]

Kits and blank boards upon demand..

I would think the default for add on boards for Quickstarts should be that they don't cover the touch pads.
I would vote that the only time you should cover them is if you are reusing the pins they are attached to...

I'm not even sure it would still fit if we did that.. (ponders) Quickplayer (http://www.gadgetgangster.com/find-a-project/56?projectnum=207) is the only board slated to leave the touchbuttons open at this time. The servo/sensor board reuses them at the same positions.

I saw an Xbee board (Arduino shield) that supported 2 sockets... Curious, I thought until I saw the XBee footprint GPS module.

[Oldbitcollector (Jeff)]

Ok, I think I'm getting closer...

Added servo/sensor style servo head.
Added connection point for microSD module

Looks pretty nice. My only input is lame, but since it came to mind right away when I looked at the board, here it is... How about "quiXbee" instead of Quick Xbee?

OBC,
Couldn't the Xbee pins straddle the 40 pin connector? Or just reverse the 40 pin connector and have this board hang off the other way.
