h4k-badge-2019's Issues

File corrupted?

Hi, I was trying to help my son with the 2019 H4K Tyro badge. Whenever we tried to verify the code from GitHub (downloaded today) in Arduino, we constantly had stray character errors, and it looked very different than what was downloaded at the H4K earlier this year. It looks like someone may have tried to edit in a word processor, etc. (there are line break characters, etc.). Can a clean copy be made available again?

Thanks,
Bill Pardue

Played with the badge a bit

Found out that using that library makes the tft display ~20 times faster (maybe more in some cases). Boot time including wifi connection is <1s: https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI

Did you had people interested in experimenting with the badge? Would having some examples (I'm toying with wifi and bluetooth for now) be useful for them?

Incorrect documentation caused board failure.

Schematic provided in the repo shows a ST LF33 3.3v LDO regulator, which has a maximum input voltage rating of 16VDC.
Board actually has a ST LD39150 BiCMOS regulator, which has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.5VDC.

9V was applied to the battery input on the board, and resulted in damage to the board.

I would recommend updating the documentation to note this change, so other people do not fall into the same trap of trusting the documentation provided for a product, only to be left with a dead board.
