I have to find that particular board back and check it thoroughly out. In the meantime I am interested in how common that might be. With the BR it was not critical - just unexpected. In the next project though, it would be hard to live with this. Obviously I don't feel like accounting for failed hardware but if that's something typical then I'd have to rethink. -- SD!Received on 2021-01-25 22:00:21
