Q4 orientation question from JLCPCD (I've read related docs and issues)

Hey @ScottG489,

The collector C should indeed be aligned with the dot, so facing down in the v2.0.0 like this:

I don't know exactly why sometimes this happens. The last time I submitted an order, it required no correction. But other times I had to request the change, using the same placement file.

I will update the wiki with the tip for the newest hardware revision.

Hey thanks so much for the quick reply. And for this great project!

Maybe it just comes down to the engineer that looks at it. Because if I go into my orders and look at the PCB layout, it looks correct (with the C aligned with the dot).

I've messaged them to let them know it should be the reverse of how they have it in the picture they sent me. I also let them know of the common confusion with this PCB and if there's something we could do to avoid it in the future. I'll ping you here if they come back with anything helpful. Thanks again!
