Friends,

Looking for some general "gotchas" here...

I'm about to transition from a purchased prototype board (An 18 pin MockUp)
to my own board. As I begin to lay it out, does anybody have their favorite
"go to have" components on the board.

This project is series of off-board switches that trigger microcontroller
compatible high-side switches that are located off-board.

Here's what I've got so far:

2 PICs - F84 and 12C509
1 Murata 4mhz resonator (caps included) for the F84
.10f cap decoupling cap for Vdd
MCLR switch and a 10k pulldown
Pulldowns for the off-board switches

Power is coming from a supply located off-board.

This is an automotive project. I've got automotive/industrial grade
components. I've also got Motorola's layout techniques guide.

Am I missing something?

BTW - The MockUp boards www.technicalworks.com are really nice units.
