NEW:2/8/04

Well, Quick update on the controller. I have layed out the board...and here is a picture of the pcb. I am waiting on one more part substitution to arrive, then I will be sending it out to a board house to get a couple of prototypes made. After I build one, If everything works as planned, then I will have the boards made and get part kits together. Will let everyone know soon!

If anyone looks closely, they will see I designed this board with all through hole components. That means NO smd soldering unless you decide to make your own plugin modules! I think that will be good news for those wanting to build this as a kit. I do plan on converting the board to completely SMD to make it smaller for those wanting to buy pre-made units if I ever get to that point. Thanks for the interest! SWN
