TILT Board Issues and Errata

PCB Rev 3

Description
No known errata! Rev 3 has a 5x2 header for the CAN interface on TILT.CAN.
The regulator can get hot if supplied with more than 9VDC. The regulator temperature is fine if you drive the regulator with 6-9 VDC such as our power cube. 12VDC cubes are typically 14-16 VDC if lightly loaded, and these can cause the regulator to overheat and automatically shut down. Rev 2 boards have a heavier heatsink to dissipate heat better. Still, the best idea is to use a 6VDC cube.

PCB Rev 1

Description or Work-around
TILT.68.CAN had pin 8 of the CAN driver left floating, it should be grounded. We believe we caught this before any were shipped to customers and added a wire grounding this pin. Applies only to boards with the CAN cable driver installed.
