We use the strongest type of Micro USB you can currently get(eg this one has 4 through hole pins for structural support, while many others are purely SMT and can be easily ripped off). Note even these can be ripped off abut so can the larger Mini USB ports we used in the past. Basically you cant pull on the connector. It is not designed for significant loads.

If you send the board in we can usually repair a pulled off USB port.

the _simplFunctionS2 is a typo(left over from an older revision I beleive). We have fixed it but the updated python library hasnt been released. Changing those two places to _WriteS2 should fix those two commands.

The other commands you listed were added after the last release of the Python library and have not been added to the libary yet.

You can add the new commands. They are in the controller firmware. They just havent been added to the python library yet.

On "Set Standard Config Settings" some bit masks are mutually exclusive to the control mode set. Mixing is only an option with RC and Analog modes. Baud rate settings is only an option for Serial modes.
