tf_archiv Geschrieben December 30, 2011 at 16:16 Share Geschrieben December 30, 2011 at 16:16 Hi, Have you thought about making a cable or brick that makes it possible to split a stack into two? I would imagine that in larger projects the stack-tower could get too hight to fit in a proper enclosure. Great project! Already ordered and can't wait for the wireless extensions. regards Anton Zitieren Link zu diesem Kommentar Share on other sites More sharing options...

tf_archiv Geschrieben December 30, 2011 at 16:16 Autor Share Geschrieben December 30, 2011 at 16:16 i think it could be. all that would need to be done is get the pn for the stack connectors and create a 1 to 1 harness. Zitieren Link zu diesem Kommentar Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did I understand you wrong? Zitieren Link zu diesem Kommentar Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenna Geschrieben February 24, 2012 at 08:08 Share Geschrieben February 24, 2012 at 08:08 The RS485-Extension would require the purchase of two extension bricks and an extra master brick ($$$). It would also make the two stacks higher. I'm guessing the OP would just like to be able to split the stacks to fit them in a tighter space.

borg Geschrieben February 24, 2012 at 10:06 Share Geschrieben February 24, 2012 at 10:06 Mh, the Stack has all together 80 pins. So we would need a board-to-cable connector that has 80 ports and fits on a 4x4cm board. Then we would need a cable with 80 wires between the two stacks. To me that sounds awfully expensive too. However, if someone knows about connectors and cables that would fit this requirement we would be interested to hear about it!
