Does the old CompactFlash adapter work on the 92 pin bus, or is it 60 pin? If it is 92 pin, is there any way to buy it or is gumstix considering remaking it? I need a USB port for networking, but I am using a Robostix and cannot put one on the 60 pin port. my current setup is CFstix -> Gumstix ->Tweener -> Robostix, and the CF slot is used for 802.11 networking. any other ideas (besides soldering directly to the hirose - too risky IMO)? Thanks! |

The cfstix is still listed on the gumstix site. It's under the connex only = tab. > I need a USB port for networking, but I am using a Robostix and cannot > put one on the 60 pin port. my current setup is CFstix -> Gumstix > ->Tweener -> Robostix, and the CF slot is used for 802.11 networking. > any other ideas (besides soldering directly to the hirose - too risky > IMO)? I was planning on cutting out the USB circuitry from one of my older breakout boards, and gluing it to a tweener, and then running wires to the vias on the tweener. Lately, I've been using my netCF and netMMC and I really like the speed for downloading files :) -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

It's under the connex > only tab. Sorry, I should have made myself more clear. I am looking for the old cfstix, with USB and two serial ports, like on your site: http://www.davehylands.com/Machinist/Projects/Gumstix-Spacer/Small/10- Compact-Flash-Card.html. (so that way I can use USB and robostix at the same time as CompactFlash.) Is the old version for the 92 pin header? I am currently using the new cfstix, but that means my only console is the tweener. I wanted to use USB at the same time as the robostix, and the old cfstix looked like the best option. however, it is just that - old. So, I wanted to know if I could still get it from gumstix (any left over in stock), or if there was another way to get one (I saw one on eBay a while back, before I got the gumstix and realized I would have this problem, but now it is too late). thanks for the quick response! |

That's actually a stack made up of the waysmall (which has two serial ports and the USB and connects via the 60 pin), a gumstix-400xm, and cfstix. > I am currently using the new cfstix, but that means my only console is > the tweener.

The robostix has the two serial ports on it (although at logic level), so using the tweener and soldering in a piece of circuitry to the tweener is the the simplest way to do it. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

No, it brings out neither. Those are all on the 60-pin connector. C |
