  1. Just got my Tindie order, thanks heaps ! Noted that my OLED backpack PCB is rev 1.4, anything worth noting from a changes perspective?

  2. I am not able to get data using USB test data logger on OS X. I see two new ports when I connect the usb cable, but I got this error: “Serial could not connect”.
