From the project
Overengineered Modular RS-485 Multi-Master 19" Subrack Home Automation / Control
- Remove 2nd internal RS-485 bus, never used - Add silkscreen for bus - Use bigger font for silkscreen - Add screw terminal for 12V injection - Built-in 5V stepdown on backplane - Backplane should be symmetric
