I have looked around the board and come in contact with a term "Birdseed" when talking about some tf boards. What exactly is Birdseed? I think i know that they are components on the board but what are they for? Is it something to do with randomgenerator ?

What is Birdseed ?
Re: What is Birdseed ?
Terriblefire startred the term.. I started to use the same term.. It just means all generic stuff is fitted such as small caps and resistors etc.. Which look like..well..birdseed on the PCB.

Just because a lot of people agree on something, doesn't make it a fact. ~exxos ~
People should find solutions to problems, not find problems with solutions.

Re: What is Birdseed ?
A birdseed board is very helpful as the PCB assembler has done a lot of the work for you, thus leaving you with minimal or the larger type of components to assemble yourself.

I got the expression from @chucky

"It is not necessarily a supply voltage at no load, but the amount of current it can provide when touched that
indicates how much hurting you shall receive."

Re: What is Birdseed ?
I would like to make a complaint.
I purchased one of these boards for my hanging feeder outside.
All it did was just give the poor birds beak ache and they never came back again. I was very puzzled to find the board contents were untouched, apart from the socketed 68060 that I was shocked to watch being fished out and stolen by a magpie.
Im not very happy about this. I want a full refund.
