Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Referring to KeepIS' post on page 8 of this thread re: removal of diode and capacitor from nano board rear side. I received two slightly different nano designs, one of which I (think) I've identifed the diode and capacitor. The other one at the top is less clear. Anyone want to have a stab at identifying the relevant diode and capacitor?

Soon to attempt firmware downloads ahead of commencing the build.

The second one is correct, these can be supplied with a newer USB-C connector as well, I have just confirmed that both types work, and they are indeed the correct components to remove.

As a refresh:

1: The Diode isolates the USB external +5V from the Nano controller.

2: Cap removal stops the USB Port from resetting the Nano controller on port connection and when connecting to a Serial program for setting the Menu options.

The First Board? I will have to look when I get a chance, not sure I have one exactly like that? They can be in very odd places on some boards.

EDIT: No the First board is non standard, I do have a couple, I could not isolate then from resetting the Controller.

Use them for the LCD display or better still, the poida Saturation tester.
