MentaLSHIELD?

Post by madhunm »

Hello all,

I was smitten by the Menta; I have two in the mail at the moment.

While waiting, I started to doodle in eagle and here is what I came up with:

a Menta 'Shield' with place for an Ultimate GPS breakout and a CAN bus interface - yes, I plan to install this in a car.

I shall have another Menta with a TFT Shield displaying the GPS and CAN bus data as well as logging the data to the SD card.

I have attached the schematic; please review and comment.
MentalShield.zip
Eagle files
(109.88 KiB) Downloaded 75 times
P.S. In case I am required to rename this to anything else so as not to use 'Menta' in the name, I shall be more than happy to do so.

Thanks,
Madhu.

Adafruit team,

Even though there is no feedback; I am proceeding to get a couple of these boards fabbed to test out my ideas.

That said, would you have any objections to my use of the 'Menta' name - MentaLSHIELD?

Thanks,
Madhu.

please do not use the name MENTA if you plan to sell the designs, etc, that's the product name we're selling it as - so that would be confusing. please call it something else, just not MENTA :) if it's just for personal use, then it's ok.

thank you!
adafruit support, phil

Hello,

I have no plans to sell this. However, the design files would be in the public domain.

Thanks for the clarification.
Madhu.
