Aug 2012 Hello fellows, I'm measuring around 4.50 volts of output on the 16IO bricklet while the switch on the bricklet reading "3.3V <--> 5V" is switched to "5V". Switching it to 3.3V results in a perfect 3.30 volts of output, but the 5V is really not even close. Is this a known issue? Kind regards, Geert Schuring.
