The only difference is one capacitor location. Everything else, and I mean EVERYTHING, is the same from board 1.5 to 1.5b.
Most people have not had issues with the instructions, actually quite the opposite, most Poly enthusiasts have been complimentary.
But more than that, at least do me the courtesy of allowing me to help you before you whinge and whine like a spoiled rotten little brat. I've been waiting five years for a complete utter twat customer to come along and it looks like you might be it. That is, unless you manage to redeem yourself by re-engaging Internet etiquette 101. But first you will have to find the etiquette circuits somewhere inside your vacuous mind. Despite strong evidence suggesting otherwise, I can only assume that your brain is still present and functioning within your cranium.
Pondering this encounter further, what makes me laugh even harder at your total fail broadcasting your incompetence to the group here; is that you don't even bother to email a direct question to me which is precisely what it says to do in the instructions. So at the most basic level you have failed the quintessentially stupid test for customer behavior which is the read the instructions and follow them!
Now, I can understand that you may be close to popping an aneurysm soon so please try to calm down, get a grip on yourself and do indulge everyone here as to why you think the HAWK sucks so bad. Since you did actually get it working in your Poly - right?

Here's the problem:
I'm on the current 1.5b boards, which you most likely do not have. They feature a seemingly different orientation for the .001uF capacitors, and the PDF instructions do not give the least bit of clue as to where they should go.
Also, the documentation on the Hawk is absolutely terrible. There is also seemingly nowhere to even get some basic patches for testing.
This whole experience has been a circus. Never in my life.
