This is somewhat off-topic, but I have a minor suggestion to make=20
when plugging external boards into breadboards: *don't* use 0.025"=20
square pins!  I purchase 0.015" round pins for this purpose instead=20
of the 0.025" pins.

The problem is that the spring contacts in the breadboard get=20
stretched by the excessive size of the standard 0.025" pin and then=20
do not work reliably with small component leads such as resistors or=20
small-signal diodes.  Ask me how I know . . .

Just a general suggestion.

PS - good job with your home-built dev boards.  They look to be=20
extremely functional.
