I requested that change, and I'm pretty sure they incorporated it, but its
a bit hard to know for sure. If you feel motivated about checking or
correcting it yourself, the mod is:

change R62 from 2.2k to 10k ohm, 5% resistor

That would be really fun. Definitely an interesting experience, since not a
whole lot of people have tried to do that sort of thing! The BrotherSync is
there just waiting for you all to explore it and discover what can be done.
