Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I have been looking for direct pin-compatible modules without luck. Anyone have a source for these, please?
Edit: Correction. I did locate the RTC. Just the SD module that I need. Edited by Tinine 2019-02-24

Grogster's web site (Rictech NZ) has a bill of materials for the E-100 in the download section. "It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all"

Thanks palcal.
I purchased my E-100s fully assembled and they have headers for optional modules. I have found many SD card modules on eBay but none with the same pin assignments as the E-100s header, "C10".

CON10 is the old SD-card connector, when the board did not have and SD card on it, as it used the SD card socket on the LCD module. But if you were not using an LCD module, you were kinda stuck.
I expect you have 1B version of the board then. 1C's and 1D's have a micro-SD card slot on-board.
I used to sell an SD add-on kit for CON10 on the earlier boards, but once the later boards were being made, I took that off the site. Please PM me, and I can arrange to have one sent to you.
