Some good news for you,·Parallax offers a 1/2 off replacement for modules we manufacturer. So you can send it in for recycling and get a 1/2 off credit for a new one. If you wanted to do so, please call me at 888-997-8267 and ask for Josh; I will set up the RMA and get a new module out to you.
We offer this because accidents happen from time to time, but you got the lesson out of it, so it is still a good mistake.
