Re: Serial To Jaguar PCB

Hi,
Sorry for the long response time.

Eric & Ryan, I will rearrange that! the reason I minimized it was for price. The one we used on the robot this year did have room for screws, I just didn't have any screws and it worked fine, didn't pop out at any point, although, when designing a product I would want it to work with screws.

Alan:
I have had issues with those plastic things (although that may have just been due to the supplier), either way, I trust using a PCB a bit more than wires, while, when made correctly, I think the plastic connectors work fine, soldering a resistor to wires inside a plastic case, just seems like bad practice to me, and I think this may be more reliable.
