THE PINOUTS BOOK
--

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well. Here is a project that my
friend Baptiste and I have been working on for quite a while, and
we're glad to be finally showing you.

PINOUTS.ORG

As the name suggests, it's a pinout reference book that you can
download for free. It's aimed at designers, engineers and tinkerers,
and basically covers a good chunk of the regular components and
boards people like us will come across while we're working on
electronics projects.

I'm sure many of you have a folder full of random screenshots,
bookmarks and files for commonly used components you work with.
Baptiste and I wanted to create a simple resource with custom, easy
to identify illustrations, so that's what we did. It started off
being a lot smaller in scope, and ballooned into over 300 pages.

It was originally designed to be a physical book, but we realised it
made more sense to be downloadable, as we can keep updating it
regularly. We may do on-demand printing down the road once we've
fleshed things out though.

LAYOUT

The design is split into 2 main parts. On the left page there is a
simple illustration of each component. We tried to make these as
easily recognisable as possible, and since it's a PDF, you can zoom
right in when needed. Then on the opposite page is the corresponding
table containing information on the pins, and if available, any other
pertinent info like power requirements etc.

We always kept in mind the idea of this being a quick reference, as
opposed to a 5000+ page super technical document, so we've
intentionally kept things uncomplicated. That being said though, if
you do need to find more information about a particular pinout, we
have included links at the top of each page. Go to those addresses
and they will redirect to any corresponding wikis, datasheets or
specifications we could find.

CATEGORIES

So what's included? Well we have a selection of connectors, including
audio/video, all the USB types and some miscellaneous ones too.
There's also a section on memory cards. We then have a range of
commonly used microcontroller chips, before we get to the main meat
of the book, which is all the different single board computers and
dev boards out there.

This includes separate sections for Adafruit, Arduino, and Raspberry
Pi, and then a large range of other random SBCs, like Tinker Boards,
Beaglebones, Banana Pi, Odroid and others.

And wrapping up, there's a section for misc dev boards, such as
Sparkfun, Particle boards, Espruino etc.

So far the book covers 130 different individual components and
boards, and we plan on adding more as the project goes on. There's a
full list of everything included on Pinouts.org

CONCLUSION

This is really only the beginning, so please bare with us. We looked
at everything a million times over but we're bound to have missed
some stuff. If you have ideas for other categories and devices that
might be good to include, let us know.

We hope you like this and find it useful. If you want to support the
project we made some nice tshirt designs based off the illustrations
in the book. They're also on the site if you're interested.

Anyways, thanks for watching. Take care and I'll speak to you again
soon.
