Sharing a breakout board I've made for the pogo pins
#1
Hi all,

I've made a breakout board for the Pinephone's pogo pins. This might make the process of testing accessory hardware easier when it is in an early stage of development (e.g. not ready to be mounted directly to the phone).

Here is the Github repository with pictures of it installed and the KiCad source files: https://github.com/SMR404/PinephonePogoBreakout


Also, I made a Reddit post with the same (redundant) info: https://old.reddit.com/r/pinephone/comments/fa43gp/time_to_get_acquainted_with_the_expansion_port

I hope this is a help to some of you!

This could be super helpful for prototyping. Thanks so much for sharing! 

On the software side, how do you program for I2C? Is there a Python or C++ library that can be used like an Arduino/microcontroller, and how do you adress the pins?
