Phill's silly question of the week!
Whilst waiting for the new motors to arrive, I've been building a new proto-board. I've based it on this version.
http://www.ebay.es/itm/1-PCB-Shield-Arduino-Mega-2560-R3-FADIMEGA-368P-Protoboard-genuino-/162099883360? Change out of €3 can't be bad!
I have to say this is a great board. There are no header pins as standard, which I preferred, as I wanted to fit tall ones. The holes are grouped sensibly, especially for motor boards, and there are rows/columns of GND and VCC holes. For an old pensioner like me I especially appreciated that GND is square, VCC is octagonal and group holes are round. An added bonus is that the holes can be soldered from both sided, making it easy to run on the underside.
Now the question! Tom, I appreciate that there are a few pins that cannot be used, but I wondered why you chose the resets to be on A0 and A1? To keep my board tidy is there any reason why I couldn't use 9 and 14?
This is giving me so much enjoyment. It's almost going to be a disappointment when it's fully finished.
