So in the rush to get this done, apparently I mixed up power and ground between the top and bottom boards. So we’re going to disable them by removing those pins from the headers between the two boards. Power and ground on the front board ONLY provides power to the SAO header.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to bodge it, you’re welcome to bodge it, just desolder the 4-pin header on the right and resolder a 6-pin header after cutting and rerouting the traces appropriately. If you want to add a SAO connector to mount an SAO without power, you’re welcome to do so. Just keep in mind it’s disabled for a reason. If you re-enable it without rerouting, it will burn out your SAOs and make your room smell funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will be resolved in official batch #2 later this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I could have retconned this as a “we deliberately disabled power on the SAO header for the Tarot badge so that it could connect to the Tree of Life Badge without concern for power in a future release of the firmware” but then we’d have to follow through on that promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
