This project is to refurbish the ALDT (Accelerated Life Degradation Testing) rig at UWA. I am responsible for the design and manufacture of the motherboard. So far, the PCB has been designed in conjunction with other group members, parts ordered, and waiting for assembly.

Did a small amount of work today on the EAGLE files, making the fixes for the female headers (now using the appropriately named "pinhead" library, rather than "con-lsta") and adjusting the silk screen so that it will actually be printed next time. The board is now revised to version 1.7. I have sent an email requesting that another 5 parts be purchased, slightly annoying for everyone to go through all the fuss to order 5 $0.70 parts.

The board was collected, the new parts arrived, and components were soldered on.
