[hpsdr] hpsdr Digest, Vol 12, Issue 30 :Pinocchio Labels

[peter at gehughes.us]

>From looking at the wiki...and if you consider the side with the Serial
Number as the Back (Far) side ..Consistent with the Connectors being
mounted in the case towards the back, like a normal PC
Then yes the numbers are "Rotated" 180 degrees from what you would
normally expect...If you were working from the front of the PC
But if you mount the boards (and therefore rotate Pinocchio) with the
connectors towards the Front of the PC case as recommended by at least
one participant then the labels would read correctly...from the Front
of the PC...But not the back
I think that no matter how the numbers are rotated they will still be
wrong for someone.
I suppose they could be supplied as Press-On labels..and let everyone
roll their own.. :-)
