Ever since I used thread locker (blue type) from locktite I have had no issue with my rotating contacts coming loose. ?Thanks for such a fun product (powered ground board , ServoCAT, and the interface with Argo Navis)! ?I am about to publish a newsletter

Gary,
Can you pass along the schematic or other design info?
Thanks

I actually designed a box that has build in super capacitors totaling I believe if I recall 2F. It is enough to ride through a momentary drop out. Of course one should put the effort in to find what the actual cause is and solve it. Usually, if it is my
system, something loosened up over time. The box also had (high current) shottky diode isolation so one could have an internal battery as well that would instantly be 'in circuit'.?

I have considered that adding a bank of capacitors in the rocker box would provide fault tolerance to the rotating contacts.
