Basic Initial Build Questions (Grounding)
Posted: Mon Sep 29, 2014 10:42 pm
Hi
I purchased this board because I am starting learning adventure into electronics.
I have the board working and now want to place it in a more robust case.
Grounding
1) I purchased an aluminum case;
a) Should I ground the case to earth ( I believe so but just checking)
b) Should the board itself be grounded to the case, I was thinking of using brass offsets of 15 mm length on each of the four (4) corners
My plan was to purchase a surface mount USB connector that would be mounted on the case with an internal cable to the Red Pitaya. I don't want a "jerked cable" to damage the RP.
Thanks in advance
