So, my SunAir Plus that I got earlier this week just has a through hole where JP4 is supposed to be. Is it by design that purchasers are supposed to solder a pin in there? I didn't read that in the instructions nor did I notice a pin in the package. Just want to see if I missed something.

Mike,
Not every person uses JP4 (It is often used by people that are using an USB PowerControl), but we think you have a point. We will go back and look at our production orders and see if something has changed. If it isn't in the production order, then we will modify the instructions to specify the pin to be soldered in.
Thanks for your comments!

Thanks for the thoughtful response. Especially since the title of the tutorial says "No Soldering Required". Perhaps it's not, if I understand you correctly. But, the "tutorial" does - to my reading - suggest that you're better off with whatever's attached to the JP4. In an attempt at constructive criticism, the instructions or "tutorial" as it's framed (both in this matter and other aspects) are such that I can't tell whether I do or do not need a JP4 connection, and if so, why or why not.I think you've done a great job trying to spread these kinds of projects to schools. I think you should record every question they ask: They will be the best means to create really helpful tutorials.

Hi Mike,
We checked the manifest and manufacturing specification for SunAirPlus and it shows that there should be a pin soldered in JP4. We looked at a couple of SunAirPlus boards in stock and they have a pin soldered in JP4.
Sounds like you got an odd one. We are just ordering a new batch of SunAirPlus boards and we will make sure that they have a pin in JP4.
Best,
BP
