Looking at Twinturbo's measurement of the dash connection, I see that the image resolution of CJH's connector board is not the same as that of the main board. Here are my measurements of the connector board in millimeters:

Thanks Icosahedron, looks like our final measurements were not too far off. The biggest difference I had was the height, I had a 3mm difference

This is an interesting post. I did some work on this a while ago
viewtopic.php?t=177008

Happy to provide any files. I used jlc PCB to produce the PCBs and was very happy with the price and quality. I don't know how they do it for the prices they charge!!

Great post, James. I like your design. It looks like you also went with the multiple board design.

Appreciate the offer to share your files, my prototype is almost finished now.
