IO Board - Header pins x3 specification

[radi...@mail.com]

Took a while to find this entry as it does not seem to be given in the IO Board GitHub readme. Maybe it could be added for clarity as I received my IO Board today and still no pins included? 

So to copy N2ADR Jim's advice from another thread for benefit of others until they are included:

"For the three-pin header you need the same size as the 1x20 header on the main HL2 board. The pin pitch is 2.45 mm. On my HL2, the total height is 11.43 mm with 3.05 mm below the PCB. The pins are square and 0.64 mm on a side. But my HL2 is an old one, so check what size your pins are. The exact height is not too critical."

OK so apologies. Now I think I am spreading "disinformation". Having searched and not found 2.45 pitch headers I think Jim made a typo? Think it's 2.54 mm.

"MCIGICM 10pcs Male Header Pin, 40 Pin Header Strip (2.54 mm) for Arduino Connector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PKKY8BX?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_VT1FH9KDPKA6M2TXH9K5 or any 2.54mm pitch, Just snip a set of three and you're good to go."

I just received my HL2 and I/O board and case today. While doing a quick inventory of the I/O box I found  the end plates, misc hardware and a small stripe of header pins. Although I have not checked the fit, it looks like they will fit the spot where the 3 pins are to be soldered. I hope this helps.

Likewise, I just received an HL2, filter board and I/O board.  I also found a strip of 0.1" header pins loose in the box that appears to be a late addition.  Maybe 10 pins total, so enough for a few tries to get it right :-)

Good to hear now included. Bought mine on eBay (minimum order 4 strips of 10!). Not yet fitted, but soon hopefully.
