Well hey,
First time forum poster, long time product user. I recently picked up a Lipower board (the TPS61200 boost converter) for the express purpose of something that will involve removing the UVLO – all the Googling in the world has only produced 2 pictures of the final mod and lots of descriptions of how it's done.. I like to visually verify before bringing a soldering iron to a fresh board though.
Problem is, I think the board components have changed layout a bit since the photos I saw were taken – can anyone confirm for me, have the positions of R3 and C2 rotated?
The clearest shot of the mod I could find (the one I'm sure we've all seen, at https://www.circuitsathome.com/dc-dc/tp ... e-lockout/ ) seems to have them parallel to the board edge, and what I think are R3 and C2 on the board I got are perpendicular. Also, the author of that article admits to purposefully "[trying] to produce as sloppy a soldering job" as he could for demo purposes. Kinda obscures the details.
Am I totally overthinking this? Thanks for any help.
