Emax

Call me stupid but I still don't get this procedure.  One person says add a resistor, the other says there is no need to.  Nothing is working for me still.  Jason, did you not have to add pin A?  I took the pin A I had originally soldered in out again but now the Emax will not turn on at all.  Maybe I burnt out that surfacemount resistor?  At least with pin A in there I got power to everything.  I'm about to throw this thing off a bridge.
