FLORA: Can I cover the reset button?

Post by krazy »

Hi all,

I'm working on a project that requires me to permanently cover up the reset button on the FLORA. It would make the reset button permanently inaccessible.

I'm not too familiar with the platform but, aside from preventing me from having a convenient way to reset the FLORA, is there any concern with doing this?

For example, could the FLORA get stuck in a mode that ONLY a reset button could get the device out of?

Thanks!

You can always cut power to the Flora to force a reset. If your code is reasonably stable and you don't find yourself having to reset it often, then I don't see a major problem with covering it.
