Good point! IIRC there were some boards with LEDs in backwards (or was that all of them?). Any other issues? The board I got from them (at full price) to test with seemed to work OK, but I haven't put in a lot of time printing with it. I'm now up to (I think) 4 BeBoPr's (one from CircuitCo, two and a ++ direct from Bas via group buys), a Replicape, several CRAMPS prototypes, and then a bunch more CNC oriented boards. No one board seems to stay connected for very long! :) I also mostly run 24V (I manually modified a couple of the older Rev3 BeBoPr boards, the ++ does 24V natively), which would help to keep the FETs cool even if there was an issue with the board FETs, and one of my printers uses an AC line power SSR for the bed heater (so virtually zero current and no FET heating on what is typically the highest current output). -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
