[sdiy] Substitute for pin matrixes? lab plate.

[Jerry Gray-Eskue]

If you are set on using the solderless breadboards consider mounting them on
a edge connector card with the signals connected.

This will allow you to have a set of cards with a patch on each and swap
them out quickly - its basically a rehash of the Buchla programming card.

Hehe, he's even referring to SDIY list 2009 for discussions
about matrix panels, two posts but its here alright! :-)

See, JH was right in his prophecy, everything has already been thaught of!

Yes, really ugly and that's EXACTLY what i feared early on first with
the IDC solution and then the Lab plate. But, there are a neat solution
to it, one solder two L angled pin list in between metal rims an viola'
one gets a flat cable adapted lab plate, and one can use any IDC
connector size, its very easy to do, neat and tidy no cable mess.

One should actually mount the Lab plate beneath the front panel, it
looks a lot more professional then top mounted.
