Quick Wrist Disconnect breakout module

During our University Open Days we often find ourselves fighting against time to fix problems that seems to ALWAYS pop-up a few minutes before the event starts.

Namely, one of these issues was the poor connection between the prosthetic hand we use for demos and the microcontroller we interface it with. The cables would come loose from the clinical Quick Wrist Disconnect every other minute. A QWD is a very neat - or hellish, depends who you ask - system that allows prostheses users to rotate their hand, while still carrying over all the signals and power.

One day, noticing the over-the-charts stress levels caused by this issue, I started designing a few variations of the board you are about to see. It translates the awkard original pins numbering into easy to access connections. You can then just plug your cable inside and you are good to go. The connectors are "tool-less", meaning they have an internal spring-clamp mechanism that allows cables to be kept fixed inside.
