Re: [Xylo-SDR] Cases

[Philip Covington <p.covington@gmail.com>]

I did a quick layout of four vertical DIN41612 96 pin connectors and
two right angle 96 pin connectors for inter-motherboard connectivity. 
 I was able to fit it within a motherboard footprint of 4"x4.25".  One
of the right angle DIN41612 connectors could be used to apply power to
the motherboard and/or we can put a powerpole pcb connector on the
motherboard too.

This gives four slots per motherboard spaced 0.75" apart.  The slots
(and the right angle inter-motherboard connectors) would not need to
be populated it you are not using them... cutting down on the cost in
some cases...
