Hardware process documentation
This was my first time install so followed instructions, thanks. Couple of suggestions:
-
Access to PCB is really easy - 4 mains screws under the base.
-
I removed the WiFI panel cable (carefully as these connectors often break) which made it easier.
-
Use of 'plugin' - this means 'plug power in' (I had stupidly thought I powered via the connector)
-
Mating a standard PCB header with a connector viable F-F ribbon cable to the USB adapter makes a robust way of holding the GND/TX/RX pins in place whilst programming.
-
Small fine tip tweezers make the shorting of the program pins easy
I thought it might be helpful to have a picture of the PCB (though your instructions were quite clear). Attached in case you want to use it !
Thanks again for doing this, Winston is very happy !
