As you say, not everyone has the skills or the time to do it yourself and build from scratch, reinventing the wheel.

I didn't say that and I would appreciate it if you would not misquote me in your posts.

What I meant is that working solutions exist for flashing a 30b and if flashing a 30b is the goal then there's no point in redesigning something that already exists. Now if you improved on Harald's design my making it simpler or cheaper, then those would be acceptable reasons for "reinventing the wheel".

The triangular wheel is not an improvement on the square wheel because it eliminates one bump.

May I ask, in undertaking this project, other than adding LED's, what were your design goals?
