Possibly a silly question but what am I to do with the shield tab in this RJ45 module? Just wrap the drain wire around it?

Searching around for an example but not finding anything.

Nothing more disappointing than going to a repo for a project you like and seeing the mark of shame. *le sigh*

Only one commit in this case but still, disappointing.

Spotted the first bee of the year! Starting to feel a bit like spring at last.

The SCART connector has many problems, but I forgive them all for it helping keep the horror that is S-Video from becoming widespread in Europe.
