The Carrier Board connects the port headers of a JeeNode, JeeNode USB, or JeeSMD MPU board to various combinations of alternate port header positions. It fits exactly in the slots of a low-cost plastic enclosure:

The Jeenode boards can be placed in two orientations, allowing the USB or FTDI connector to either point toward the outside or the inside of the case.

If the PWR/SER/I2C and SPI/ISP connectors are also populated and connected, then all these ATmega I/O pins become available along one edge of the carrier board (for use with a "Carrier Card", for example).

There are numerous ways to use this Carrier Board with all sorts of JeePlugs:

Configuration

There is nothing to configure.

Errata

The optional DC jack should not be soldered onto the board as is, because then the middle pin will be connected to ground. See this weblog post for several workarounds.

Header Pinouts

Note: the port assignements depend on the orientation of the JeeNode!
