That sounds like it needs me to go do some research on that one. :) I use a PTC fues for protection on the USB powered version but my other boards use battery power from 2.4 to whatever voltage but usually 3v max. And like I asked Bertho, does a diode bridge even work with DC?
Thanks,
Dave

That takes care of the power supply polarity to the board (you might want to investigate a P Channel FET for a power protection device, it works for reverse polarity as long as you don't exceed a negative input greater than the gate/source rating).
It doesn't help the LED on the board at all.? I'm assuming more on the board than just a resistor and LED, though.

Dave,
The easy, foolproof way is to add a diode bridge and it does not matter how
it is plugged in.
The drawback is that you have two extra diode voltage drops.
