Driver Diag Pin

The driver diag pin is used for sensorless homing and stall detection.
The Fly-Gemini-V1.1 does not have a way of disabling the diag pin as it is designed to be used with Fly-2209 drivers which have a switch on the underside of them for disabling the diag pin.
If you plan on using endstops rather than sensorless homing and do not have the Fly-2209 drivers, you need to bend or remove the diag pin.

Fan Mosfets

The Fly-Gemini-V1.1 fan mosfets are replaceable. Each mosfet (VS3622e) controls two of the fan outputs. The orientation that the fan mostfet is plugged into the board doesn’t matter.
