The reason I like custom boards is that I travel quite a bit and a bunch=20
of boards plugged together with cables/connectors everywhere gets messy=20
and usually results in damages wires, shorts, etc.  Occasionally I'll=20

fit everything.

To get moving quickly for now, I went ahead and ordered (and received)=20
this board...

This thing is just sweet and price is good.  I would usually veer=20
towards the Microchip products first, but in this case the all-in-one,=20
compact form-factor was very appealing.
