Flying RockMite RJ45 breakout board

[hcarter333]

Add a RJ45 connector into a case for the flying RockMite. Bring that down (via CAT5) to the keyer, headphone, and battery box (?).

Add the same connector to the desktop RockMite to use the same keyer/headphone/battery box.

Write about this in relation to the following:

The diagram is spiffy as a base for the work here:

Just change the microphone to the Rockmite's two paddle keyer, and the PTT button to the Rockmite's keyer speed/frquency select button. For this version, everything shares a single ground.

Oh! Also need to add battery power, so for the Rockmite, the wire listing becomes:
Radio power:
1 ground
1 postive power
Audio:
1 headphone
Keyer:
1 di paddle
1 da paddle
1 uController button

= 6 total wires?

Yup! That's corroborarted by the original flying Rockmite picture:

Note the two unused wires.

Initial placement of the board has been determined:

Make the initial prototype via two breakout boards, (maybe use a rubberband to attach the one seen above at first, and just use the screw terminals on the back of the board for the radio-side breakout board.
