By the way, Joerg suggested we add an overvoltage protection circuit, e.g., conceptually like this crowbar (in German, sorry): http://www.elektronik-kompendium.de/public/schaerer/crowbar.htm The overvoltage protection would have to be synchronized such that an excursion - e.g., when 3V3 and 5V ar

One more J21 issue. Having those 5V there makes me a little nervous. Not only could any contact with them upset things I plug into J21 (which usually wouldn't be designed for 5V), but it's quite possible that 5V could end up by mistake, be it in the design of a board under development or just by pl

[Milkymist-devel] rotate J21 ?

2012-01-28 Thread Werner Almesberger
When working on the ledm board, I realized that the orientation of J21 is a little confusing: In the schematics, it's drawn with 5V/3V3 at the top and ground at the bottom, which is a fairly common way of showing things. Now, in the PCB layout, the "top" of J21 is close to the edge of the PCB and
