Project Suggestion

Describe your suggestion or idea
On the current EuroPi board, the pico is positioned near the top of the board. When certain USB cables are plugged in while rack mounted, the usb cable sticks out a bit past the top of the module. This can prevent the module from being mounted if the rack has anything in that space like the power bus board.

An improvement in this design could be to orient the pico 90 degrees or move it lower on the board to allow for a bit of space for the cable.
