If I had room for the dual connector cables, possibly. But I don't, and extracting the cable socket and installing a female to just sit on the cable connector on the bottom of the board might be possible but made out of unobtainium I suspect. Even then I might be out of overhead as the cabinet door the 7i90 is mounted on closes to quite close proximity to the power supplies and motor drivers mounted inside the box. The 60 volt psu is wide enough that when I finally tried to close the door last weekend, the jumper wires sticking up off the r-pi's gpio connecter to hook up the spi to the 7i90 were hitting this psu, and I had to move the r-pi to a different place on the inside of the door that had more clearance. Then after my experince with aliexpress and a defective orange-pi, aliexpress is off my list of approved vendors. Thats the second time that my inability to satisfy all the requirements of their web page dispute form has caused me to eat a bad purchase. First time was a 5 piece set of lathe tools for about a hundred dollar bill that fit the chip they used so poorly that a damaged corner of a chip totally destroyed the chip. I wound up sending the o-pi to another fellow for the price of an if it fits box, and he hooked it up to a 4k capable monitor and it worked. Lesson learned about ali, again. There will not be a 3rd time. > On Sat, Dec 3, 2016 at 10:18 AM, Gene Heskett <[email protected]> wrote: > > Greetings; > > > > I spent an hour early this morning looking around in the cracks and > > crannies of both web sites, looking for an adapter that would plug > > into the 50 pin sockets on the 7i90, that would, without interfering > > with the adjacent socket, give me a row of micro screw terminals so > > I wouldn't have to putz with cutting these pissy-assed, cheap jumper > > cables in two and splicing them onto the ends of the cables coming > > into the box, > > > > Failed miserably. > > > > I can well imagine that such a connector is not a COTS item.
