Neo / FreeRunner 'stand'

[Lothar Behrens]

Would it also be useful to add a jack for a standard power supply or  
things to plug a standard cigarette lightener cable ?

I mean the doc could also to be used in a car. Therefore a well  
designed voltage regulator could be added to support
a wider range of input voltage.

Also a question: Did anybody know something about KICAD (ecad  
software) ?

It has support for 3D parts, thus it will probably help to visualize a  
board design in 3D.

What about the CAD drawings I sometime have posted in BRLCAD format ?
