- When assembling the uConsole, at step "E. Mount the Core", the CM4 module tends to unplug/disengage from
the two connectors that hold it on the main board. Carefully use glue or another method to secure the CM4
to the core board.
- When placing the heat transfer putty on the CM4, between the CM4 and the case, spread the putty so that
it will make approximately flat contact with the case. The Broadcom chip is a bit thicker than the adjacent chips. If needed you can scribe some shallow hash marks into the putty to make it spread more easily.
- Use the external antenna rather than the CM4 internal antenna
