A small update is due I suppose. I have ordered most all the stuff I need to print my own pcb's. Its a cost effective method over a professional manufactured pcb. And will work perfectly fine for the time being as design changes happen over the course of the next few months which will reduce the development cost significantly.
This weather has me at my wits end though. I haven't been able to make any progress other than ordering pieces parts and that's taking forever due to the weather. But being that the next few months are the wettest part of the year for Va, i'll be moving into a workshop in the next few weeks. I have small garage, but no where near the space I need to accommodate all of my projects. So stay tuned everyone.
