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.

thanks.
as my mother would have said, I may have more money than brains but I'm going to give this a try!
