Hello all, I know there has been a fair bit of discussion about mounting points for the connex boards, but I haven't been able to find a mechanical layout showing the positions of the three holes. I am looking for the mechanical or package dimensions for the connex parts. Is there a diagram somewhere that I just haven't found or has someone measured and/or drawn-up those holes? Thanks, Ernest |

We have an intern working for us for the summer who's going to be going through all our board designs starting today, and posting physical descriptions extracted from those designs to pubs.gumstix.com over the course of the next 2 weeks. He's also going to be working on using those specs to produce some cases for some of our board combinations, and then also producing ultimately an automated case-building system where you can specify a combination of boards and it'll figure out a case design for that combo. Anyway, to the original question: as he posts stuff to pubs.gumstix.com, I'll have him send an email to the list with more details.

Great! Please keep us posted so that as soon as cases are ready we can start buy them (I developed my own but I don't really have time and appropriate tools to work on cases so I would rather prefer buy them).

Hi Ernest, Check this mailing list archive, Don posted a pdf of the mounting holes here a couple of days ago. Bye for now, George.

May I suggest something related to the gumstix cases? It would be neat if the bottom and upper part of the case could clip together. It would help make them fit closed. Because even thought I filed the edges of the boards the case doesn't ctay closed. Marc. |

You might want to look through a page I put together about getting the case to fit better: http://www.davehylands.com/linux/gumstix/Case-Fit/ --=20 Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

I already done that, this is why I was recommending some modifications. Marc. |

So, I found that I had to very carefully study/figure out exactly what was binding and it was more than just filing the edges of the boards. I was eventually able to get the case to snap together. It only takes the slightest amount of binding to cause the case to not snap together. --=20 Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

It fits, it just doesn't "SNAP" because there is no clip or groove to snap to. I was recommending ADDING some, there is none. At least not on my case. |
