Hi all, finally, Christmas came, Santa did his work and I officially got my Mister :D! As reported in this thread I had the auto-balancing-robot (source of the DE10-nano and of some fun itself) and a set of standard odd-on boards (USB hub, I/O, 128MB RAM, RTC, and vent). The de10-nano in the kit has 2 connectors that are soldered on the bottom of t...

A ribbon cable is unlikely to work here, maybe a right angle adapter might work? https://www.technologicalarts.com/produ ... ight-angle I think this is a great idea, but unluckily this does not solve the "pin order" problem underlined by Yim, because pin sequence is mirrored in any case, so there is no way to insert the RAM module respec...

Ok thanks for the update.

Write to me if you have news . I'll do it myself after Christmas...

Bye

And i guess you can actually use it in its current state for a Mister build. It just would be clunky as all hell with the SDRAM module pointing straight down. It wouldn't fit in any existing cases. I don’t think this would work, because there are two rows of pins. If you install the SDRAM upside down socket one will either end up at pin 2 or pin 3...

@C-R-T Having a solder sucker isn't it much simpler (and equally non-destructive) to suck the tin off each one of the leg from the upper side and then remove the loosen header from the bottom?

@OnkelB: any advancement on this?

And i guess you can actually use it in its current state for a Mister build. It just would be clunky as all hell with the SDRAM module pointing straight down. It wouldn't fit in any existing cases. Yes, I think so. If I were you, I would attempt anyway, so you know that everything is in order before risking any soldering or possibly destructive mo...

Hi OnkelB. Here is another one (myself) that thought the same. The difference is that even if I ordered one month ago, I will open and start to experiment from 25th of December. Sorry but traditions are important to me, so i cannot help or even share experiences until then. But, boys, I was really surprised by your post, at least as much as you was...
