SWAUG REVIEW: USB BAR

[tjaoz]

@SWAUG

If we had our Subway working, it would be very nice to test the device, but it smoked when it was installed!

It would be very easy and cheap (less than 1 EUR) for the producer of the hardware fitted to the A1200 clock port to include in it the protection against the hardware damage in case of connecting it wrong way round.  

E3B prefers that hardware smokes in such case and they can charge the customers once again, I guess.

@SWAUG

Perhaps the slightly better speed is down to Chris Hodges' more efficient USB stack...

.. or down to Pawel Stypula' more efficient USB Spider driver.

Ah, Mr. Rat aka Tjaoz aka Elbox Press Department ... I presume.

Thank you for nominating me to the Elbox Press Department.  :-)
Unfortunately, the nomination coming from the E3Bugs company is worthless :-(

Read the USB specs especially the sections about power budget, and think about why a protection diode with 0.7V - 1.0V drop is not possible at this place.

You are really such a lamer? Or you are so greedy that you play dumb?

Haven't you heard about Power MOS transistors?  :-o

Adding to the Subway board one IRF7809AV HEXFET transistor for less than 1 EUR would be enough for securing this board against any damage in case of connecting it wrong way round.

It looks you play dumb because you prefer that your customers' hardware smokes and you can charge them once again.  :pissed:
