Hi, Electric Imp co-founder here. We made the card format first to facilitate folks who wanted to make products that could optionally use an imp, as well as those who wanted one permanently installed.
We're currently developing a solder-down module, but some vendors still find the card more attractive because the slots are very easy to integrate on a board.
- zaius 14y agoInteresting. What happens when you plug a regular SD card into a imp slot? And what happens when you plug an imp into a standard SD slot?
- kfury 14y agoNothing. The pins were allocated such that plugging an imp into an SD-card slot won't hurt it or the device, and putting an SD card into an imp slot won't hurt either the card or the device.
