The really awesome thing about these being in simple reference designs, is how easy it is to swap out things like that. I really like how they have things laid out, and will be using this as a reference for jr. folks on how to lay out logical blocks in KiCad.
I have often thought how awesome it would be to have a bunch of proven / validated / supported open source blocks for common things like power supplies, sensors, etc. I think that at some point digikey or someone had a modular board that you could mix and match stuff into a reference design, but I can't remember the details.
That seems kinda dumb. I would never purchase a car without physical controls for key things. It is such a distraction to pull your eyes off the road for common tasks.
K, but if these are experts that literally do not exist in the US, why are the salaries not higher than median? It wasn't meant to fill junior level positions.
This program was meant to allow talent that is not available in the US, so that gaps could be filled with experts from overseas.
