Yet another PCB to address (nearly) all Arduino pins

[GertSanders]

@tbowmo I have been working on a similar board. The matter of external connections for switches and external sensors keeps me busy. The 1,27 mm spaced headers seem like a possible solution. But I have not found any female headers with wires (Dupont style) to go with the male versions. How do you solve the connection problem ?

@GertSanders: On aliexpress you can find sets of male and female 1.25mm connectors, do you think about something like that:

As I read your post again, you mean something like this:

@phil83 the micro connector set with the wires is a very good suggestion. I will look around some more.

I finally went on with the project and received the pcbs last week... my soldering oven is running and I could finish the first board (still some parts are missing :-( ) If only I had more time to work on that...
Here are some impressions:

I soldered some cables so that I can program it and check via ftdi...

More to come soon...
