For many years, I have been running my entire show off an F16V2 with an expansion board.  I have been putting off getting new controllers and it came to bite me in early December 2024.  I had just announced the show was up and running, then someone reported the mega tree was not working.  I went out to look and thought I had lost a power supply, but after wiggling some cables, all was well, for a few hours.  When I investigated further and tried to remove the power, the screw fell into the terminal. It was completely burnt away!  I can only assume this was from a loose/arcing connection.  I accidentally removed the good terminal in the process of trying to get the bad one off, so here they both are.  I soldered some wires directly to the board, and it was back up and running for the rest of the year.   Thank you Mr. Pitts for one amazing board!  This thing just doesn't quit.
