Cape headers in offset location? about flyingbone HOT 7 CLOSED

The other set of holes on FlyingBone are just holes to solder wires. Otherwise, with pass-through headers installed it would be difficult to connect the rest of the circuit on the board.

Oh. I wasn't being clear I think.

There are two connectors on the board immediately inside of the outer two
sets of rows. The outer sets of rows appear to be at the position where the
male pins would be mounted so the cape plugs into the bbb, unless I'm
mistaken. But there aren't any connectors there on the board so I'm not
sure how it would plug in. I'm basing that on a 1.8" space between the
inner pins on the bbb reference manual.

The outer set of holes is for the BB/BBB headers. The inner set of holes is to connect the signals to the circuit on the board. I'm not sure about what connections you are writing about. Each of the holes in the inner set is connected to the corresponding hole in the board connector. You don't have to mount any pins in the inner set. The holes are there only to help solder wires going to the rest of the circuit.

Oh ok. That's kind of what I was thinking.

I was wondering how I would add the male header pin rows to the location of
the outer pins in the schematic. That would make it more explicit as to
what part should be placed there. I just wasn't sure if the correct
approach was to add the male headers and put them there manually, lining
the holes/pins up by eye.

I'm used to the board having the headers, I was wondering why the bb
footprint was a separate part but figured it was to make it easier to
create new cape boards.

The footprint is separate from FlyingBone and is a library component for use with your own projects.

Right.

So I can just add some male headers and line them up with the bb holes.

Interested in a bbb part? Some of the pins have been removed vs the bb. I
can push out a fork of the repo on github with a new bbb part copied from
bb with the removed pins removed.

I updated the library with BBB part. Please let me know if find any problems.
