No Clearance for Aux 2 Connector

Closed this issue · 3 comments

There isn't enough clearance for the Aux 2 connector because of the 5V barrel on the Beaglebone.

I wonder if a lower profile DC jack can be found?

Sounds like a task for Digikey support.

Problem is the DC jack comes with the BeagleBone, on which we have no
control

right angle male headers for Aux and power connectors with pins cut short on bottom of board would allow ROV cape to be moved up to be as high as top of RJ45
