(...) 'Trace', and 'track', are common parlance, for the wiring built onto the printed circuit board inside a unit. So the post is saying that you have to actually cut the copper 'tracks' inside the unit itself. Best Wishes (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I just managed to connect a Sharp GP2D12 to my Handyboard. The advantage compared to the GP2D02-device is the analog output which does not consume processing power for clocking the sensor. Further information can be found at: (URL) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

You can cut the trace going to the pullup resistor corresponding to analog(0) on the main board and then all of the expansion board analog inputs will be floating.
