Schematics and wiring diagrams should never be used to determine physical orientation/location of connectors. Typically the silkcreen (overlay) on physical PCB would have a pin 1 indicator but I didn't have the room 
An overlay drawing (like I included in the assembly instructions)or pin 1's called out on a picture of finished assembly are the next best thing.
I'll add the overlay to the manual right after wiring diagram. On wiring diagram I'll add note to reference overlay for pinout orientation. I'll make it part of package for version 1.4 release. |
Thanks! It was my error. I made an assumption and have now learned (I hope) from it. I have not had any luck finding a replacement board and am thinking about ordering some. I tried uploading the files to BatchPCB so that others could order as well, but received this error "Unfortunately, your design "Cougar LCD" violates our design rules of 8 mil traces with 8 mil trace spacing." The error appears to be caused by "Traces are colored Purple if they violate the trace spacing requirements"
Any thoughts. Should I try elsewhere?
Thanks
