I think it would be great if the Gumstix store would simply stock a supply of 0-80 screws, nuts, and spacers of lengths convenient for mounting the various boards together. I would gladly pay a few bucks to add those to an order. It would be a big convenience and shipping-cost saver. As it is I have to order them elsewhere and pay extra shipping because it's coming from a different place, and I have to hunt for the right lengths. And don't even get me started on the spacers. gum...@li... wrote: >From: "David Vescovi" <dav...@ta...> >To: <gum...@li...> >Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2005 22:26:31 -0400 >Subject: [Gumstix-users] more ... mounting and stability >Reply-To: gum...@li... > >This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > >------=_NextPart_000_000A_01C5C9FB.D6210670 >Content-Type: text/plain; > charset="iso-8859-1" >Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > >I think it would be great if you threw a few nylon mounting screws in = >the shipping package along with any accessory board. >Couldn't cost more then a few pennies. > >David Vescovi > > -- Tom Hansen Senior Information Processing Consultant Great Lakes WATER Institute to...@uw... www.glwi.uwm.edu |

Ditto. That would be so great.

Yeah, including spacers is going to be critical, in lieu of an entirely different mounting method, if the holes won't be self-tapping (i.e., larger I.D.) anymore :'( Laker --- Darren Gibbs <ts...@ya...> wrote: > yes! > > On Oct 5, 2005, at 8:32 PM, Tom Hansen wrote: > > > > > I think it would be great if the Gumstix store > would simply stock a > > supply of 0-80 screws, nuts, and spacers of > lengths convenient for > > mounting the various boards together.

Or you could take a page from my earlier suggestion and integrate the spacers/standoffs affixed somehow to the motherboard. I'm not sure there's any payoff in it from Gumstix's perspective, but that approach, or a "clip" mount, would be nice for users and OEMs. Fewer small things to fumble with and lose; faster maintenance / board-level replacement-"repair" (assuming anyone does that).
