We are moving it slightly on the next revision of the control board. And no, that DOESN'T mean there is a V4 MMM (internally, we are on rev H on the MMM I think....)

So -- not something that is required for normal running, but would be nice to have on the board if the BEC shorted out.

Contact me, and we'll get it fixed up for you.
