Thanks, I agree with you. As a last test now also having done a cold ohm/resistance measurement, there is only a 5 Mega-ohm (thus NO) connection to either ESP or RA4 between USB pins.
That leaves 3 issues:
- The schematics need to be updated to reflect "do not populate"
- The documentation needs to be updated to reflect that 21 instead of 40 should be used for SW USB switch.
- The documentation needs to include a warning NOT to apply the USB HW and SW switch at the same time, as pulling P408 LOW will cause a short circuit causing serious damage.
