And it worked first go!
Though I am not entirely sure about the LEDs. The markings were, uh, a
little confusing? Since everyone else apparently has the Cathode side
marked with a flat edge on the circle marking on the PCB, but the PropIO
board (and the N8VEM SBC V2, and the ECB Backplane) have a square and
rounded solder pad with a pair of lines next to the rounded pad... so I put
the Cathode lead into the round pad. +5V lights when powered separately,
but +3V3 doesn't???
Also, let me just say that SMD soldering sucks. It really does. And I don't
like how there's nothing else supporting the SD Card slot aside from the
soldering. Why couldn't they have like, snap-in pins in the guide holes to
keep it secure?
