Simply awesome!
Are you going to be doing any endurance testing? Like continuously running circuits at full bore for 3,6,12 & 24 hours?

If they don't get overly hot inside a few mins at max load, then it's not really an issue.

I think so, yes! Nothing seems to have been found in Andy's testing, and it's running an engine with no issues. The next stage is a detail board layout review, labeling review, etc. I'll perform that in 2 weeks time when I get my hand on the board for the first time. As can a few others, if they feel the need. Then Andy can order more if no changes are deemed necessary :-)

Where are we at with the second batch of boards? Is it looking like there will be any changes required, or is the 0.6 layout good?

There have already been changes made, and more to come (nothing serious, though), sometime in December, hopefully :-)

Fred is correct, we have found a few things that needed changed and I have made a few changes already.
I'm hoping to order the next set of PCBs in mid to late December, I should know more after I see Fred in person next week :-)
