SKRM-C8 2-pin prog. header & quartz positioning...

Post by Dedjazzgadgetz »

Hi Frank !

I plan cramming 3 SKRM-C8 boards in a small 1590B Hammond box; since space is real tight, I'm wondering if it's O.K. to unsolder the 2-pin programming header (& probably quartz U102 as well) and reposition/resolder them on the 16-pin header side... any technical reasons I should not attempt this ? (well, other than a "SpinSemi does not recommand..."-type disclaimer, I guess)

TIA !

(ideally, it's the 16-pin header that should be moved to the component side for optimal "compactness", but I'm not going there :shock: unless you tell me it's actually safer...)

Well, to start... OCT Distribution does not support modification of any modules or boards.

OK, now that the lawyer is made happy, there is no specific reason that I can think of that placing those components on the other side should cause a problem. Check for any thing that may short as a result.
