If I understand this right CLaNZeR ,
You are making these boards up and selling them.
If that is the case I would like to buy 5 of them .
This would save me much time.

Sorry to say Ironhead I am not planning on making the PCB boards for re-sale, instead just releasing all the information public so people can make their own pcb's and use the code etc etc for free.

Spent too many years selling PCB's and kits on the Internet and the support expected is huge, with most errors being down to people not being able to solder LOL,  so I try not to do that anymore.

If the PCB ends up double sided and there is enough interested people then we could do a batch run maybe from factory for forum members.

Must crack on this week and get it finished, too many thinks distracting me as usual and weekends trying to juggle family with play time

Is the pic software done?  I would make one.  I assume it is not single sided though..

I am trying to keep it single sided so people can make it at home easy enough, but if the links become too many I may go to Double sided. Would rather not if I can help it though.

I tested my original circuit here and it worked fine with the Opto Sensor triggering the first coil, but as expected the low resistance on the Electromagnets I was using pulled too much current and over heated the Fets after a while LOL.
But I still want to use those Electromagnets and hence going for the Heatsink on each Fet and modular design.

I am still locked up looking for PCB connectors to join each module together, and now wandering whether to just use 9 Pin Serial Female/Male Sockets for now and some Blocks for linking the power over via cables.

Working away from home this week again and will defo force myself to get the PCB layout finished one evening in the Hotel Room.

Due to the feedback I have now started Version 4 of the controller which is a different beast and started a new thread
