New Pinout Diagram & Sample Code
This update includes a new pinout diagram and a link to sample code, in our GitHub repository, that demonstrates how to program the Omega2+ Expansion Dock's button and LED. Read the full update.
Adding a Raspberry Pi Header
We have added a 26-pin header similar to the one on a Raspberry Pi SBC. As a result, the Omega2+ Expansion Dock will now be compatible with most Raspberry Pi shields, including those that provide TFT, GSM, and relay functionality. Read the full update.
Upgrading to USB Type-C
Based in part on requests from backers, we have decided to replace the micro-USB connector with a newer USB Type-C connector. This will make it more convenient to use the expansion dock and easier to find necessary cables and adapters. Read the full update.
A Real-Time Clock & Other New Features
New additions include a real-time clock, a battery holder, improved ESD protection, mounting holes, and a more convenient power switch. This update also touches on future improvements we plan to make. Read the full update.
Our Campaign is Live!
