The obvious solution to this embarrassing delema and technical DIY challenge is to replace the connector on the z-wave module with a ribbon cable which then runs over to the board. I would use velcro stickies to mount the z-wave mod away from hand-hold positions and leave plenty of ribbon length for easy installation. Right-angle header connectors can be used; however, I would use the connector I removed from the z-wave module as the connector for the pine board headers; solder a ribbon cable to the connnector and run it over the the z-wave module , where it will be soldered in place as well.
Good solution, Mark. Since most of these folks appear not to have had much experience hardware hacking, perhaps you can provide links to the hardware you recommended?
Everyone else, this is a KS campaign funded project so... you didn't order an iPhone. For what it's worth, the Pine guys have done a pretty amazing job pulling together a cheap, robust, unbelievably efficient dev board. It works with minimal hacking and fuss but, of course, it is not perfect and we didn't pay for perfect.
There is a pretty robust community forming around the Pine64 project, I'd suggest keeping cool and reaching out for solutions from the community.
