Hi all! I recently apparently destroyed a board after I moved a project to a new location, disconnecting and reconnecting a bunch of wires in the process (there were two breadboards involved, plus an external mechanical contraption with motors and switches).
As result, many inputs/outputs seemed to not respond any more, the SerialPrint does not work, BUT a simple program like the basic BLINK (LED13) somehow loads and works... Also, the 5V power now seems to be going to the motors and vice-versa the 9V for the motors somehow powers the board: not normal...
So my question is: is there a way to protect an Arduino against this kind of mistake? fuses? diodes? on each output/input. Other options?
thanks!
