Its been a year ... a whole year since I set about designing this board. At lot has happened distractions wize some enormously stressful none of which I am comfortable going into on here.
But I have finally completed the layout. Actually I finished the layout about a month ago but had been touching up and correcting problems since. Even this week - after submitting the gerber files to the Chinese PCB Fab plant (from Ebay) that will be doing the boards ... I still had to revise it two more times (the plots not the layout) to satisfy them.
I am off the whole thanksgiving week and I am looking for a much needed "staycation". Ill also use the opportunity to start on the firmware. It will be another two and a half to three weeks before I see the 5 boards I ordered
