To me this looks like we should first try without any dedicated protection, until we have a strong reason to add one, such as following what other well designed high-volume consumer electronics are doing about dcc5v? Our first priority should be that if dcc5v sees overcurrent or short, m1 will not experience *permanent* damage. If that is achieved, all else looks very marginal to me. And it seems we have achieved that goal already. _______________________________________________ http://lists.milkymist.org/listinfo.cgi/devel-milkymist.org IRC: #milkymist@Freenode
