To my knowledge the guide never links DVCC to the I2C header.

BTW I really appreciate what you have done with the guide. One of the best written DIY guides. The 'Lay-out of Buffalo II module' on page 3 labels the power supply for I2C as DVCC. Also, the the I2C supply is 3.3V, so since VD　is ~5v, I assume one of the tridents must be supplying it?

I don't know how Russ routed the board, but I think you'll find one of them (the one for the digital circuit, hence DVCC) is the source for the I2C header.

Russ, could you please confirm if tridents are installed (and hence bypassing the linear regulators), the power for I2C does come from the tridents? My DMM suggests there is a path from the DVCC trident to the I2C supply.

The linear regulator is not powered when using the Trident.

The Trident should still be more than able to drive volumite.

Has anyone tried doing that yet? Eventhough 20 ohms and jumper wire aren't much different but still..... pcb assembly quotes Edited by user Tuesday, July 23, 2013 5:39:10 PM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

Has anyone tried doing that yet? Eventhough 20 ohms and jumper wire aren't much different but still..... You cannot use a jumper for R4. If you have v3 Tridents, then you do not need to add R4, as there is an SMD R4 already in place to set the current for the Buffalo.
