lostngone Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 What are the J7 bank of four pads for? Quote
Darren Kitchen Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 What are the J7 bank of four pads for? For voiding your warranty. Seriously don't hook into those bad boys with your pineapple powered on. That's some serious easter egg action. /not joking Quote
lostngone Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 What did board rev 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 look like?!? Is there plans for 1.4? Inquiring minds need want to know!!! Quote

Darren Kitchen Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 1.0 looked good with the antennas close together, but RF testing taught us a valuable lesson on diversity :-D *snicker* Quote
Hibby Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 1.0 looked good with the antennas close together, but RF testing taught us a valuable lesson on diversity :-D *snicker* It's like I tell my clients. Always know your wavelength, so you can have optimum separation when you wave it with others. Actually, usually I say "What do you mean you moved the antennas closer together than what I designed?"

PacoBell Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Kudos, btw, on not soldering down the RF shields. +1 for repairability should, gourd forbid, the device take an accidental bath. Much easier to dry out this way =) Quote

Much easier to dry out this way =) Some of the tabs that hold the shields are soldered. I have two boards and the tabs that have been soldered are not the same. Re-work on these boards is NOT fun!
