Alan's PCB for controlling Tortoise machines

(1/1)

faithie999:
Alan--I just came across an old post by you that pointed me to your article about your PCB project for controlling Tortoise machines.  I am interested in trying it.  a couple of questions:

1) what thickness of PCB did you buy?  I see that Circuit Specialists has a few different thicknesses of pre-sensitized boards.
2) what is the part number and source for the small terminal strips you used?
3) you mention a follow-up post. >>I’ll detail the steps in the following post if you are interested in making your own.<<.  but I can't seem to locate it on your list of blog posts.
