April 28, 2013 – 12:53 pm
I recently got an avrdragon for a small project. They thought it was a good idea to put the pin-layout of the headers, on the bottom. This is not very useful, esp. when you put it in a case. So I made this image with the file layout. Maybe somebody else find it useful:

I unwrapped a HP ProCurve switched recently and this sticker was placed on the power socket: It comes with a normal IEC C14 power connector. It accept voltages from 100-127 V – 200-240V 50 and 60Hz.
