The TS-SOCKET macrocontrollers all use two high density 100 pin connectors for power and all I/O. These follow a common pinout for various external interfaces so new modules can be dropped in to lower power consumption or use a more powerful processor. The female connector is on the baseboard, and the male connector is on the macrocontroller.

TS-Socket

We have an Eaglecad library available for developing a custom baseboard here. We also provide the entire PCB design for the TS-8200 baseboard here which you can modify for your own design.

In our schematics and our table layout below, we refer to pin 1 from the female connector on the baseboard.
