Missing C5 from the parts list

    Hi Robert,

    First of all thanks for all the work! A very nice - and vast - project.

    I have the PCB for the ESP32-DRV8825 but cannot find the reference to C5 in the corresponding parts list. Is it a ceramic condenser?

    Also, the parts list mentions an HER208 diode which is missing from the PCB and schematic ...

    Thanks!

    Found, in the PDF doc! So it is needed only with the Home Switch:

    "To help isolate the HPSW wires from induced noise, a small ceramic capacitor C5 (ceramic 100nF) is highly recommended as well as a small ferrite coil on the wires close to the switch as shown below."

    Now looking for the HER208 ;-)

    The her208 is a 2a general purpose diode, so any around 2A rating should do

    If you cant find one, you can just put in a 2P header and then short the header out.

    Hi Robert,

    I bought the HER208 but couldn't find it mentioned neither in the schematic nor in the PCB layout.

    Its not there - I got confused between the parts for myFP2 and myFP2ESP boards.

    Depending on the board and driver chip versions, it might be there and it might not

    I see from the esp32-DRV8825 it does not use the HER208 that is in some other boards.

    Sorry about the confusion. I have not had a chance to update a lot of things.

    Hi Robert - no issue at all! I understand that the schematic is the single source of truth.

    Thanks again!
