This article is literally ten instances of "How to destroy an IC: apply power where power does not belong, or apply too much power where less power belongs." with marketing piled on top of it. To be fair, if you did any of these things directly to the AVR powering a ruggeduino, the exact same thing would happen.
I'd not have been surprised to see "apply 120V AC to Vin/Vcc" on this list, simply for the common sense involved in such a statement.
- Too 14y agoThe arduino might be a development board but the way i see it, the IO-pins does not have to be be a 1:1 mapping to the IC-pins. I want it to be a safe and reliable, general purpose IO-unit. For that, applying these fixes saves you from many accidental mis-connections.
