Personally I've always wanted to make a PCB with a whole bunch of
snap-out adaptors for various modules...
That's a great idea. I personally find that they key part in that is the "universal connector/port" design if you want to attach multiple modules. Probably would be good to stick with one that is already out there ....
MikroElektronika has the "MicroBus" (http://www.mikroe.com/mikrobus/)
Then of course you have the Arduino Shield layout, XBee footprint and probably a few others.
The "MicroBus" seems pretty versatile, but the footprint is kind of big and doesn't use a regular connector.
UEXT seems versatile too, but might be lacking dedicated GPIO/Analog/INT/PWM pins.
Gadgeteer defines different "Port Types" for the 10-pin connector to get around the limited number of pins.
So there isn't really one out there that can do it all, Gadgeteer comes pretty close I think, but the connector and the cables are just a pain to work with (not 0.1" compatible) ...
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
