Any specific cooling recommendations for the Gigablox Nano? The same report as you provided for the Gigablox Small would be greatly appreciated: [Which chip gets hottest on GigaBlox? - #2 by josh-elijah](https://forum.botblox.org/t/which-chip-gets-hottest-on-gigablox/282/2)

Same chip on GigaBlox Nano, I won’t take a thermal image, but it will be roughly the same temperature, probably slightly hotter as the board is smaller (less board copper area for thermal dissipation).

3D CAD [here](https://grabcad.com/library/gigablox-nano-1), and dimensional drawing [here](https://botblox.io/content/GigaBlox_Nano_Switch_Rev_A_3.pdf).

All other same recommendations apply for this board as the ones given in [this post](https://forum.botblox.org/t/which-chip-gets-hottest-on-gigablox/282/2), both GigaBlox and GigaBlox Nano use the same chip.
