Just a couple of notes on building the backpack:-
- make sure you mount the micro USB before the adjacent capacitors as it is impossible to get at the USB pins with the caps in place (yes, I DID put the capacitors in first and, YES, I did have to take them off to mount the USB connector - 😢😢)
- if you want to use a pi 4" ILI9481 lcd that Peter has included drivers for, with this v1.2 board, you will need to make an adaptor - I did one from veroboard and can provide the connections if anyone wants (it's wortwhile - it's a nice display and not a bad price)
- watch you soldering on the Nucleo CN11 and 12 connectors - I found the solder didn't run in properly on a couple of pins.
Other than that, my system is up and alive - just waiting on a camera and time to test the other interface modules.
Thanks Peter, great design!
