Day 22: PCB design (fun!)

Well, I sort of enjoy it anyway. PCB design is a bit like fitting together a puzzle, only there's no one set solution so you can be more creative. Especially when trying to fit things onto as small a board as possible. Here's the controller solution I've come up with, it could be made smaller (currently 55x70mm) but at the expense of ease of assembly and clarity. Regulator in the middle, directional LED at the bottom, power on (with LED) in the top corner and shuttle and reverser switches also at the top. Input and outputs all on the back of the board, along with the motor driver and Arduino.
