Erm... you may have noticed this post is a little later than usual... That's because I have done hardly any modelling today! Doing long hours at work is making me lose my motivation a bit, at a time when I really should be doing more modelling to distract myself and lower my stress levels (my work messaging app is are still beeping every few minutes - or would be if I hadn't just muted it). Oh well. 

Anyway, I've put some writing on this PCB. Does that count as progress? I've tidied up the tracking a bit to make them less obvious and able to carry more current, and found sources for most of the components I want. The controller has also gained a name...

Still to do on this: round off the corners/tidy up the measurements to nice round numbers (this will make enclosure and front panel design easier). Finalise component choice and order the bits. Then order the boards!

Cumulative pushup counter: 2575 (in a weak attempt to make up for the above)
