20-pin header breakout for PDB?

Matt White

It appears that·my PDB doesn't have an AppMod header like the BOE or other development boards.· I'll probably end up building one, but does anyone know if Parallax or another company makes 20+ pin (female)·header breakout boards?

Thanks,
Matt

Break-out board (?)...· Well, they sell 2 x 10 (F) connectors (board mnt.)

I guess my point is the PDB doesn't have an AppMod socket... You can't plug it directly into the breadboard with out a breakout (e.g. one row of pins on one side of the breadboard and the other row of pins on the opposide side). It's not that big of a deal I have lots of the 2x10 headers and can make one myself when I have some spare time.

Make sense?

Okay apparently this is what I've been looking for.... does Parallax sell this anymore?·
I couldn't find it anywhere on the website.

Thanks,

No -- they stopped selling it a couple of years ago.

Post Edit -- You can find mention of this a little more than 1/2way down in this thread: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=573082

There's no place on the PDB to park this thing, even if you found one ( http://www.parallax.com/images/prod_jpg/28138-HUGE.jpg·)

Thanks for the response PJ Allen.
I guess I'll just bust out my soldering iron and make one then.

I found these adapters work great for connecting devices with AppMod sockets to my PBD.
