    I'd like to build my own board which acts as a motherboard for the Card Engine. But I don't have anything documenting the physical footprint of the card engine. I have artwork, but clearly a pdf file is not a reasonable way to generate the measurements I require.

    A set of Gerber files would work, but my preferred format would be "Eagle" format. That way I could just incorporate it into my design.

    Another problem, of course, is that I'm not really setup to build boards with surface mounted connectors. And since I'm in the prototype phase, I'd need to do this multiple times.

    Does anyone have (sell) a board contain sockets for a Card Engine together with headers for all of the signals (preferably coming out the bottom? I want it to have no logic, no powersupplies, just headers so that I could take that board and plug it into my own prototype boards that are built using thru hole technology.

    Thanks,

    Ken

    Ken,

    As far as available files, the files on the downloads page for the LH79520-10 are available for free. Please login into your "My Account" and follow this link.

    https://www.logicpd.com/auth/downloads.php?model=SDK-LH79520-10

    Under the Hardware category you'll see the SDK App Board Schematic, Connector Symbol File, this will give you an idea of how to start designing your own custom application board for the card engine.
