GPIO pins used by the Octo

[tha-poke]

This is why I got a second one! I'll give it a try sometime soon.

Is there a schematic or pcb diagram online somewhere? Also would be good to know exactly which pins are used for ground and power.

Thanks

For gound and power, consider that most/all of the ground pins are used. They all connect to the same ground plane.
For power, the two 5V pins are used (pins 2 and 4), also pin 17 (3.3V) is used.

Are these the tracks to cut?

Yes, those look like the correct lines to cut.

Any update on this? Do the SPI interfaces work while the Octo is connected? Is the HW mod required?

I am waiting on an Octo and my plan was to use it in conjuction with some spi adc's for interfacing potentiometers.

Give it a test, however the fallback is to cut the lines.

Cutting the tracks worked for me

I'm running a TFT lcd off the spi with the Octo sound card running. I didn't need to modify the board to get it to work.
