Here are the things that I'd like to be fixed/added/modified in the motherboard: +* The main thing is the on/off switch to cut off servo motors during flashing; +* Remove the crystal, internal RC should be just enough; +* Replace through-hole components by their SMD analogs; +* Propose good (small and foolproof) connectors instead of pin headers and optimize their placement; +* IR LEDs pads are very hard to reach under the center servo. The only viable option with the V1 motherboard is to solder the wires; +* Move a little bit the big capacitor. I had to incline it, otherwise the screw in center legs would destroy it; +* Add test pads easy to access with an oscilloscope; +* Add a couple of debug LEDs; +* Create good soldering points for unused ATMega8 pins for debugging and further extension. |
