Hi Chad Parker,
I am looking for 5 pin inline with a distance of 2.54 mm - the sym and fp
file. I can find some fp files (jumpers) that I can use, but are they
correct? How come sym file entries and fp file entries dont come in pairs?
best regards
torben

<p>You should not have to use <i><b>sudo</b></i>

<p>This may be causing issues where you are
saving files as user <i><b>torben</b></i>,

<p>sudo is a dangerous tool and is meant to be
used for specific uses such as installing

When your computer is configured correctly
