Alternative IO board for 10353/10363 series

Description and duscussion about new IO board for 10353/10363 series

* USB ports, 1 external, 2 internal small non-standart connector pinhead 2mm pitch
* serial port, pinhead connector 2mm pitch
* IDE port for 1.8" hard drives with Flat Flex cable.
* GPIO opto-isolated or via buffer, pinhead 2mm pitch
* USB sound card on board with in-out
* socket for GPS module. GPS module and serial port can not work together
* 3-axises accelerometers

Comments??

Dima, you should clearly mark is as a proposal for discussion.I would rather see (compact) lens control circuitry (both variants - 2-wire and EOS-compatible). Other people would suggest aaudio as a standard feature--Andrey.filippov 09:56, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

For 2-wire need 12V power supply. Power requrements:

* 5V for USB 0.3A per port (max load)
* 12V 0.3A for 2-wire lens control board 10331

Connectors 2mm pitch:

* 2 USB internal ports - 8 pin
* RS-232 port - 4 pin
* 10331+EOS port - 10 pin
* 4 input, 4 output - 8 pin
* audio in 3, audio out 3 - 6pin

I make 3D model of this board(Varicad). See here: 3D model

New 3D model of board uploaded. This is model with GPS module and audio connector. See here: 3D model + GPS

What about board? Can I start make design? Or need discuss more?
