Hi
Thank you for a great project. Not being that familiar with electronics I decided my best bet was to get some M-MT-F-BT DRV8825-HW203 Rev11 pcb boards made. Fortunately I ordered too many as I've scrapped one already !
My question is about fitting the 1N5408 diode. I ordered all my parts from RS electronics and the diode that came has a body length of 9.5mm . The spacing on the holes for D1 on the PCB is 7.5mm. Allowing for the radius of curvature on the diode this makes for on awkward fit at best and the wires on it are too thick to go through the holes anyway. Can you suggest a more suitable alternative diode, preferably from RS elctronics, that I can use ?
Thanks
Tim Scott

mount it vertically. It will stick up but no higher than the socketed sub boards
Thank you for the reply. I hadn't though of that !
