The Modular Rail

Here is the pinout for the Modular Rail from pi-top1, pi-topCEED and pi-top[3]. This is the thing that powers all of our add-ons, so here is the pinout with the descriptions. Enjoy!

The connector is a 34 pin (17x2) 2.00mm SMT, right-angle Connector, which uses square pins. It’s the same across the pi-top1, pi-topCEED and pi-top [3].
