PCB COINS

Although it is a extra step to break away all those coins, the cost saved on solder paste more or less balances out with the cost for two-layer PCB (Battery Coins).

Changelog:

Im straightening everything out and started looking at USB-C receptables.

Cool thing about USB-C is that we can actually make it support USB 2.0 and CAN FD, by utilizing the Alternate Mode (extra pins on 24 pin USB-C format). Not sure there is a industry standard for using USB-C with CAN FD and more specifically which pins to use for that purpose. (RX1 +/- RX2 +/- TX1 +/- TX2 +/-) ?

By moving the cell´s to “side-by-side” the space for fasteners is increased making M4 possible while using half the fasteners.
