PCB "T" Adapter for QuickStart to Breadboard - Saw it... Now I can't find it....

Hi,

In the last few weeks, I ran across a PCB board that was in the shape of a "T"... on one end (the top of the "T"), it had a 40 pin "IDE" type connector that could plug into the QuickStart board... and on the other end, another 40 pin connector with 2 rows of 20 pins each..... with space enough between them to plug into the middle of a breadboard.....

Can anyone point me to this product ? I can't seem to find it now.... I don't remember if I saw a link to it in a forum... or if I found it on a web-store... I am thinking it was on a web-store for robotics.. but I visit so many web stores that my brain gets easily mixed up.

Thanks.... TJ

FYI... I am not looking for the typical IDE flex cable to breadboard... I already have one... it gets in the way.

This is for Raspberry Pi, so you'll need to ignore the pin descriptions:

I used use this sort of devices before the QuickStart came out.




Here's an earlier DIP version.




Now that I have QuickStart boards, I rarely use these breadboard friendly Propeller boards since it's easier to set the QuickStart next to a breadboard and plug wires into the QuickStart's header.

If you had some sort ot "T" connector for the breadboard, it would just end up taking up breadboard area since you'd still need to run a wire from, where the T is connected, to the component which you wish to connect with the Propeller.

IMO, the only thing one can connect directly to the "T" would be pull-up or pull-down resistors. In general, the "T" would just be in the way.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ! That's what I was looking for.... and easy enough to print propeller pin outs and stick it on.
