The Loki Prototyping Plank

Time to introduce another of the initial set of Loki planks, the Prototyping Plank.

Every platform needs a prototyping board, and Loki’s no exception. It may not be exciting, but it’s certainly essential.

Besides the expected grid of prototyping holes, this one has some important features:

• Breaks out 8 GPIO lines
• Dedicated area for thru-hole DIP chips up to 24 pins wide
• Convenient 3v3 power and gnd buses
• General prototyping area
• Square pads for easy soldering of SMT passives
• Dedicated area for right-angle edge connectors on the left side of the board
• Breaks out all power/config header pins

There’s not a great deal else to say about this one. I’m certain people will find it useful, though.
