As you can see, Pi Jumper fits on the ODROID-C1 quite nicely, and worked right away.

Now if you want to plug it into a breadboard, Pi Jumper Plus worked on the ODROID-C1 just as well.

You may need to get a 26 pin stacking header, as 26 pin IDC headers will not plug directly into the 40 pin GPIO connector on the ODROID-C1.

EZasPi

It just worked, as one would expect from a prototyping board made 26 pin GPIO connectors.

The extra tall stacking header plugs nicely into the 40 pin GPIO connector.

I added the small breadboard and round female headers to this EZasPi, I use it for breadboarding small circuits.

WiFi USB Stick Compatibility

Whenever I review a single board computer that does not already have WiFi on board I test all the different types of WiFi adapters in my lab with, and report the results.

USB WiFi Stick Chipset ODROID-C1 C1 with hub
Netis WF-2111 Realtek RTL811f YES NO
Patriot PCBOWAU2-N Realtek R8712u YES NO
LEGUANG LG-N19 ? Ralink rt2x00 YES YES
RetailPlus+ WL-6203 Realtek RTL8191S YES YES
KEEBOX W150NUv1.0 Ralink rt2x00 YES YES
EdiMax EW-7811Un Realtek RTL8192cu YES YES
WiPi OYR-COMFAST88 Ralink rt2800usb YES YES
TP-LINK TL-WN725N Realtek RTL817X YES YES

I was VERY pleased to find all eight adapters worked with the ODROID-C1 when plugged directly into the C1

Surprisingly, two of the adapters did not work when plugged into a powered hub that was plugged into the C1. I will investigate this further, as this is an unusual result.
