Installation ideas
There are many ways to install a ProgRock2 module in your project. The most obvious is just to
solder wires to the PCB itself. But here are some more ideas!
2x6-pin header strip
A suitable pair of 2x6-pin header strips is
available as an option when purchasing
ProgRock2. The PCB slides between the two
rows of pins (the short ends), which can then be
soldered to the pad surface. This could be done
on both long edges of the PCB for the full 24 pins
of the connection, if female header connectors
and cables were used.
Or – just connect a single 2x6-pin header along
one edge, and have the ProgRock2 module stand
up vertical on your project board, soldered in or
plugging into a 2x6 female header socket.
The pinout was quite carefully designed such that
power supply lines, Bank select inputs and Clock outputs are all available on the edge shown.
Pair of 2x6-pin right-angled header strips
Another way is a pair of right-angled header
strips as shown in the photograph. This way your
module has 24 pins and can be plugged into
either female pin header connectors on your
board or soldered in directly, with the module flat
in the same plane as your board.
These right-angled headers are available as an
option when you purchase your ProgRock2
module.
