The top chip is a dual N-channel mosfet (TPCS8205), the bottom is the management chip (SC451). Which is supposed to do over-current and over-charge protection. From what I gather from the datasheet, over-current condition is detected by a voltage drop of the cell.

Except for the addition of the 'Lord Helmet' icon on the silkscreen, this board is quasi identical to this one and it is also part of the last batch for the 'RGB LED Ring V2' project.

And there goes our ex-president

Too many 'strange' financial transactions during his time of office, too many strange things have happened during his time as a minister. Always too greedy for his 'precious'.

I don't know what it is, but it looks quite simple. The 2nd board I got was another 'Foca V2.1'.

Seems to work just fine. And this time the 'FTDI' connector is actually correct.

Unfortunately the blue LEDs are much brighter than the 3 orange ones. Next time I might try using 0603 LEDs, maybe even 0402 ones. But I'll need a magnifier cap for that.
