Merge branch 'rev1.1'
The following changes are implemented in rev1.1:
Dropping 3M32 resistor to 1M4:
The DC/DC converter is currently trimmed to 5.1 V. Since the
Raspberry Pi can take more than that, we increase the voltage
to 5.25 V. This appears to be the recommended operating voltage.
In order to achieve this, a trimming resistor of 1M375 is
required. We use 1M4. Since we also use this resistor value to
dissipate stray charge on FET and microcontroller inputs, those
resistors are dropped in value as well. This is a good thing since
the value was uncomfortably high (and still remains somewhat high
even after the change).
Adding diode to address case where DC/DC converter is reverse biased
The datasheet of the DC/DC converter recommends a (normally) reverse
biased diode across the regulator. This is to prevent damage in case
the output is at a higher voltage than the input.
Since this condition would apply if somebody powers the Raspberry Pi
directly (i.e. not using the hat), it is strongly recommended to add
the diode.
Adding ability to short out ATtiny chip
We now have an unpopulated resistor footprint (R5) to connect the
PTT input to the PTT output: In case somebody decides not to use the
Quaselsperre PTT timeout timer watchdog, this can be used as bypass.
Relocating decoupling capacitor for HPVDD.
The capacitor was misplaced, leading to poor decoupling. While we
never observed issues in this regard with Rev 1.0, this is still
a good opportunity to address this.
BOM cleanup
We removed NP parts as well as mounting holes and symbols from
the BOM.
Improving Silk Screen text "HB9UF EL Hat"
The large silk screen text was re-arranged.
Version bump, regenerating schematics, gerbers etc.
