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.
