fun fact: if you design a product that takes a barrel-jack plug, and don't specify anywhere if it's center-positive or center-negative, you go to hell when you die

there's no right or wrong way to do DC barrel jacksbut of the two completely valid alternatives, center-negative is the wrong one

@foone fun fact: if you sell barrel jacks, and don't specify a current rating in the datasheet (or don't provide a datasheet), you go to hell

@foone @philpem If it is center-negative you go to hell, too.
