 MegaBee Mk2 installed252 viewsInstalled into the Beeboard case. The SD card has now been moved to a separate module that's installed at the top of the case and projects through to the front for easy card swaps. The MegaBee itself is mounted below that and connected to the SD module via a short 6-way ribbon cable. A USB socket is also mounted next to the SD card for MegaBee programmingMar 02, 2014
