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).
