It looks as though I incorrectly connected the gate and drain on both T1 and T2 and have de-soldered them and shorted VUSB and +5V to use VUSB directly. In the future I hope to revise my board to fix the error without needing to short any connections, and since I plan on always powering the board via the USB, it sounds like the best approach is to simplify the design and remove unneeded components, if I am understanding things correctly? Could I simply remove T1, T2 and the NCP1117 regulator and use VUSB as +5V? | |
