Is the metalic ring around the perimeter of the back side of the new Rev 3 boards designed to work as the ground contact to an E-can?

LOCO is more like it.
Afraid not! While it makes a great mechanical connection to the can, the driver still needs to be "manually" grounded with wire. The next rev will make that ground ring functional... right Wayne? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The NG ring is grounded, however.

If there is another run after this we will fix the ground ring on the Downboy. Till then, you will ahve to still add the ground wire separately. The NG and Wiz2 have the GND ring and it is connected on those boards.
