  • I guess my first question would be: do you have a need that device can fill, or are you looking to take on a project for some other reason (education, boredom, etc.)?

    I honestly don’t see to what great use a router (and modem) that was discontinued a decade ago can be put that couldn’t be accomplished with less complication and less power draw by using a modern device. I’m not trying to rain on your parade, but knowing nothing else about your situation I don’t know that I can see any utility in a device like that anymore.








  • Thanks, that all makes a lot of sense.

    It looks like pad 5/VCC is on the middle-left, pad 2/GND is on the middle-right, and pad 6/data is on the upper-left of the footprint when I open the hillside46.kicad_pcb file in the KiCad PCB Editor, click on ‘View’, and check “Flip Board View”.

    As a sanity check, given the info above: it looks like I could rotate that ESD chip 180 degrees (so that the ESD chip’s pin 1 is on the lower-right pad of the footprint) and have everything work, correct?
