Different PCB color for 3.3V
Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2012 8:35 am
Just a usability suggestion: have a second PCB color for the Sparkfun boards that are not 5V tolerant. I am considering the pro-micro line, and would like 3.3V to interface with my GPS modules, and 5V for a bunch of sensors that work better at higher voltages. I opened a 3.3V pro-mini window by mistake, and went "Awesome, the 3.3V is blue!" Then realized my mistake. The 3.3V and 5V versions look almost identical. : (
I realize this won't work for all products, since you don't choose the colors where you are a reseller, but for the SF boards, this would be a great bonus feature.
