RPI LCT4V3 stack with RPI LCT8 application example

We will showcase an application example of stacking together a RPI_LCT4V3 with a RPI_LCT8.

Mechanical considerations

The use of screw terminal connectors on RPI_LCT4V3 and RPI_LCT8 makes stacking challenging.

We are proposing here a solution using free plug connectors on the master board. These allow access to the bottom board connector and clearance to access the top board.

This is a solution for 2 boards stack. One master plus one slave. There is no options for stacking 3 boards or more at the moment.

The master board RPI_LCT4V3 with the free plug connector is shown below:
