I had a parti...Hi James, sorry I missed your post. I had a particularly busy October and my hobbies took a back seat. I'll do a full layout with BOR and SHO if you want it, but it will end up over 22 columns wide so it wouldn't fit sideways in a 1590B size enclosure. If you're not bothered about that and you'll use a bigger box anyway then it's no problem. My layouts are very rarely the most compact, I do them because I hate standing resistors like you see with many other layouts, but the down side of that is that the final board usually take up more space. But it's worth it to me and feeds my OCD so I carry on! :o)IvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.com
