Failure Analysis - Not thinking through connector locations
Failure happens from time to time when building projects or creating things. I'm lucky that most of my mistakes are fixable after the fact or that the cost is negligible. I have a 10 year old project I wanted to update. It is a stack of three boards. The bottom board is an Arduino Ethernet The middle board is a spacer that raises the third board above the ethernet connector. The middle board has been cut to avoid touching the Ethernet connector The top board a NeoPixel 8x5 LED array I wanted to add a Nokia 5110 LCD to the board to show status and configuration. This Arduino Ethernet board has some stuff going on. The left side of the board looks like it is the side that we would expose through a bulkhead panel. The right-hand side has a programmer connector. I made that a 90-degree right-angle connector so that I could plugin in a serial-to-USB adapter while a shield was stacked on top. The thing is to remember that the left-hand side is going to be mounted...
