Hi Marzio, thanks for your feedback, glad you like it and I agree on the DC ports. 1 amp isn't much, I'm going to play with this board and see what I can do for the next set of boards. Removing that troublesome diode will help but I need to change the mosfet as well as it get's hot quicker than the mosfet I previously used. I changed mosfet because the one on this board has built in ESD protection and a lower gate voltage threshold allowing a wider range in voltages, 3v - 12v vs 6v - 12v. As I've added those other extra diodes on gate and drain the internal ESD protection isn't necessary so I will likely go back to other mosfet.
