Change ICSP header
tagno25 opened this issue · comments
I would recommend changing out the straight ICSP for a right angle header.
If the header is a right angle then it is possible to cut a hole in the back of the existing case, which allows a cable to easily connected and disconnected without disassembly. It didn't seem to interfere with the case if you don't cut a hole.
Is there an action needed here? Changing BOM/notes? Is the current layout OK?
I think the current layout is OK.
I don't recall if the boards came with a header already populated at this point. If they don't then just changing the DigiKey link in the DIY.md file would probably be sufficient.

I did exactly this with the rev4 board. The pins extend out the back of the case. I can keep them covered with a socket or plug in serial or the avr programmer. I didn't have the part you reference, instead I bodged/soldered right-angle and straight header pins.
