Hmmm. Does this PicoBlade connector (J2) look too close to the PMOD to its left?
It only needs to get connected once during assembly, this won't be frequently actuated, so it's OK if it's a bit annoying as long as I don't like physically collide.
(The PMOD is just-in-case GPIO expansion and I have no plans to use it as of now)
@azonenberg I believe the standard requires modules to optimally be 0.800" wide. Depending on how wide the outside of the connector for the PicoBlade is, I think it should just fit.
@petrillic I'm not sure how the width of the module is an issue.
The PicoBlade is the gray connector to the east of the PMOD. The cable will come in from the west, draped over the PMOD, then curve down towards the PCB and plug into the west side of the PicoBlade.
The question is if I've left enough space between the board-side connector and the pins of the PMOD to reasonably allow mating and unmating.
@petrillic (I suppose the *height* of the PMOD in the vertical axis could be a consideration, but by the time you get past the mated connector pair the PicoBlade wire harness can easily be routed anywhere to avoid it)
