Long References: <42B97F6A.5060006@martin-jones.com> <14003.200506221540@tw100.eng.cam.ac.uk> In response to feedback from Cambridge University, I've made another change to the Balloon 3 pinout. The comms connector has grown to 24 pins and now includes I2C and VDD_IO. This gives convenience for educational applications at the minor expense of consistency, but has the added bonus that it reduces the number of identical-looking 20-pin connectors and so will reduce confusion. As ever, it's at http://www.solidlights.co.uk/balloon/balloon3_connector_pinouts.pdf Incidentally, for all these connectors, I've checked that the connectors and cables are available from Farnell/Newark and so can be purchased in small quantities.
