To connect the STM32 to the cart edge connector I designed a small adapter board. It is designed to screw into the back of the connector housing. It contains some female headers. I placed a solder jumper to connect shield ground to the ground plane. It would be possible to place a small surface mount inductor here. I have ordered 10 of these PCBs, which contain 40 adapter boards in total.
