WP34S USB and IR board release

[Jim Horn]

The new PCBs are excellent - thank you for even putting the six wires on that connect it to the rest of the calculator. All six are different colors, making installation much easier!

I am concerned about the white BAT+ wire, though. The WP 34S users manual says to connect it to "the big upper battery terminal." However, the illustration shows a connection to both batteries' big upper terminals. Since the two battery inductors, LB1 and LB2 have been removed, there is no longer any continuity between the two batteries so connecting to only one means the WP 34S is only powered by that one and the other is not connected.

I've added a wire between the two "big upper" (positive) terminals to ensure both cells are used. When I get home this evening, I'll confirm the need for that with my WP 34S which I updated last week without this extra wire. If my suspicions are correct, it will run with the left cell in place and without the right one but not the other way around. In which case I will open it again and add the extra wire.

Many, many thanks for a fine board and build kit - the difference it makes in WP 34S usability is enormous (and yes, I do have the HP cable - this is *far* easier!).
