Cubieboard Expansion Ports / Pinout graphical diagram

[Tiberiu Corbu]

Because I didn't saw a good graphical pinout/expansion port for Cubieboard and because the board have a lot of pins with multiple functions I decided to draw one myself.

Its aim is to display all known pin functions, an interactive and text based version will be available as well... But before I put more effort into it I would greatly appreciate some feedback, suggestions for improvement and dislikes.

It displays the backside because the pins are exposed on the back.

Would it be possible to make a similar graphic but with bigger text? 

Been looking at more posters to print and throw up on the wall in our hackerspace :)​

Sure do, but the bigger text would result in a bigger image in the current configuration (arranging pin functions by their mux position) is mostly caused port U14 pin 47 and U15 pin 11 were the description nearly overlaps.

The compromise solution to maintain the mux position is to clip the ports in different images separately.

The image is generated trough code, therefore I can surely make one at 3 scale or 4 or 5 scale w/o no problem :)  

Just change 2 to 3 and voila:

3rd scale :

4th scale:

5th scale :

Last note : Hope is not the provider that is shrinking the images :(

[Bastiaan van den Berg]

Ok :) Maybe not getting across what I ment. ​

The issue was not the size of image in general, but the scale of text in regard to the graphic. Too small text to read even on A3 at 2 meter distance...

Ok, now I understand ... I'll make a new graphic in the next days.

Thanks a lot! Really curious how it will end up :)​

Hello ,

As promised, I have optimised the graphic like so:

High resolution files can be downloaded from here:

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5XXSsXE3JTbdURaMFRQa0s0cTg&usp=sharing

The key points for this snapshot release are :

1. Increased font from 8px to 18px for double line labels and 24px for single line labels.
   
2. Used the space more efficiently so the graphic fits from top to bottom, left to right on a A5,A4,A3 etc. paper format;
   
3. Chose beautiful colours that contrast with black or white;
4. Added annotations;
5. Increased the level of details on the sketch schematic;
6. Grouped pins;
   
7. Added some design features - Bigger borders, Zoom out effect, labels slightly rounded instead of big corner radius; 

Here is the showcase of changes :
