I reverted your edits to the 26j50 because they were not for the official Pinguino PCB which is sold in the Pinguino Shop. Feel free to add your alternative schematic using a new page, but please do not confuse matters for the existing page which includes detailed instructions for using the supplied PCB. Thanks!

- Hi Trev, This is my fault. I made the Pinguino 26J50 schematic very simple and cheap. That's why I used a Zener Diode to provide 3.3V regulation but it's sometime not accurate enough. Dave has improved the schematic with a 3.3V regulator so I asked him to publish it as a possible alternative to the original. I understand your point so I put it in the Download section of the main site. Dave is helping me to test software and hardware so he will probably update the Wiki in some way. He tried to join you but his mail was rejected ...

Hi Régis,

No fault, just a tiny misunderstanding :) I had no issue with the 3V3 regulator (if you recall I replaced the zener on my first 26J50 board with one) or the schematic - it was just a little confusing inserting it into the official Pinguino 26J50 wiki page when the building instructions, PCB etc were not applicable to it.

I have no problem with Dave updating the wiki - I just try to keep pages that I've edited in the past consistent.

Mail rejected... ah well, that would be my mail servers in combination with my home grown sendmail milter which managed to keep my spam count for 2016 down to 14. False positives from previously unknown, un-whitelisted correspondents using "free" mail services in particular are always problematical.
