As?
As?
Turn it RIGHT SIDE UP (pins DOWN, the way it would be plugged into a breadboard and GND is on the RIGHT on the silkscreen side, DATA, is on the LEFT and Vcc in the middle, JUST LIKE the photo I posted.
The silkscreen labels are OBVIOUSLY UPSIDE DOWN on yours because they are upside down when you plug it into the breadboard. WHY would anyone use it with the pins pointed UP like your photo ?
(answer, they wouldn't. The labels are upside down but the same order and location as the photo I posted and 2 out of three of them are spelled correctly.
Point was showing VCC being over a different pin than what you showed. Upside down has nothing to do with it. I turned it that way in the picture to specifically give you a point to rage about. ![]()
And with the obvious misprints, it's an argument over which misprint was less wrong.
Issue has been resolved, yes the order is correct, location is wrong, and the labels actually aren't identical as you're saying. Turn it upside down and VCC is still probably going to be over pin 3.
Maybe so but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize the exact location is irrelevant and only the ORDER is important. If VCC WERE pin 3 , WHAT would DATA be ? (since there's ONLY 3 pins ?
I think anyone with half a brain could figure out that what matters is the order from left to right and the exact location is unimportant.
And with the obvious misprints, it's an argument over which misprint was less wrong.
Really ?,
They're Chinese , for pete's sake. We don't expect them to be able to spell English correctly but we DO expect them to be able to count to 3 (correctly, and in the right order)
I don't agree that the order is suspect because they can't spell or the template was reversed when they silkscreened it. I don't think the order is in question, but that's just my personal 35 years experience that makes me think that.
Look at it this way. If someone said just plug it in and wire it a certain way using a certain order based on the silkscreen side facing you and a LEFT to RIGHT order, it would still work even if you NEVER looked at the labels. I'm guessing that's how the vendor felt about it. (like who's going to look at the labels anyway if you know which order (left to right) it should be with the silkscreen side facing you ? )
Issue has been resolved,
It's debatable whether there ever was an issue, per se.
Calm your tits, guy. For such types of people as you are, so self assured of their encompassing knowledge, they always hilariously seem incapable of understanding the menial fact that there are people in the world that haven't had the exact same experiences as they have. Maybe dedicate a smidgen of your limitless pomposity to reflect on how it is ironic that you are certain of your superiority but act surprised when someone is not equally experienced when it is that very fact that fuels your attitude.
It's not like that at all. I'm simply saying you should have more faith in the Chinese' ability to count , even if they got the silkscreen reversed and didn't put the label right NEXT to the pin. From their point of view they may have thought it was obvious thre wasn't room to put them over the pin. Personally, I find it hard to believe the didn't think to use a smaller font so it would fit.
That is the bigger mystery. I can understand you're reaction to my comments but that being said, Think of it as a learning experience. Next time try to look at the problem from a different perspective. Ask yourself "What is the most important thing here , the location or the order ?"
What you think of me is not important. What matters is what did you learn about pcb manufacturing ?
