From the project

6 Compute Module Cluster

This is a small 36mm X 50mm PCB based that connects to the main Hexa-Pi board using a 10 wire interface with JST connectors.

Since the individual Compute Modules on the main PCB are all powered together, the goal with this board is to allow some basic repair and diagnosis if here are errors or failures on specific modules - without powering the main board down and disassembling the case!
