• Nov 10, 2021: Updated Festo control board with correct diode configuration. Also, a 500mA thermal fuse is added for safety in case of short circuit.
• Dec 7, 2021: Changed resistor values of OPAMP for the ADC on the Festo control board. Amplifcation factor is now 1/5 instead of 1/2 : 10v - 2.0v. This allows compatability with the ADS1013 (and any ADS10xx variant with Programmable Gains).
