Gonna be drawing a board... with approximately this form factor. The pink is solder points. Or I might use screw terminals, maybe. It looks big enough, but for a home etched single sided board it's uncomfortably tight. This is gonna be interesting yet

Control board update - the layout is done - strictly single sided because I'm making it at home. Now trying to manufacture the board. If the toner transfer paper I have doesn't work, I'll have to wait until a better one arrives .__.

I might actually have drill bits and the screw terminals by then, too, so it works out fine

@xorowl that would be nice, no this is a normal laser printer. It worked before, but the transfer papers have somehow gone bad
