Hardware Bug Fix (P5 Only)¶
This step is only necessary for P5 prototype boards.
Due to a long, convoluted story involving auto-routing, ground fill, and KiCad DRC and rat's nest functionality, one of the traces is missing. This will stop the board from turning on.
Tools Needed¶
- Soldering iron
- Tweezers
Parts Needed¶
- 1 x jumper wire
Instructions¶
- Get a short piece of wire trimming left over from a previous wire
cut, and align it between the two highlighted points on the front of
the board.
- Hold the wire in place with tweezers, then reheat the solder from
the existing connection until the wire attaches.
- Once held in place, add more solder to get a stronger connection.
Your board should now be able to power on!
