2018-12-05Documentation/flash_tutorial/index.md: warn about dots painted on ICsMichael Bacarella
I fried my mainboard because I tried to orient my chip by lining a blue dot on the corner of my chip with a dot depicted on the chip datasheet. They apparently have nothing to do with each other, and this is normal. Add warning about this to the docs to hopefully spare others from a similar fate.
