:*Ended up soldering the PCB (with help from [[User:Samthetechie|Samthetechie]]) and currently awaiting spare TLC5940s to arrive from TI. I love their "free sample" service! I also plan to redesign the PCB to be smaller and use smaller trace widths, as well as reorganise a couple of components. | :*Ended up soldering the PCB (with help from [[User:Samthetechie|Samthetechie]]) and currently awaiting spare TLC5940s to arrive from TI.

:*Redesigned [[Media:DDF-PCB-v0.2-20110415.png|the PCB]] as described above and ordered a prototype from Spirit Circuits again. This board should be more solder-friendly due to thinner traces (smaller thermal area) and copper hints about what goes where. As another new feature, this board has mounting holes set at the corners of a 2.5" square. The board itself is 3.35" by 2.83". With luck, I should be able to fit 12 of these on a 1sqft panel via Spirit Circuits' eBay store, so each PCB would cost in the region of £2. | :*Redesigned [[Media:DDF-PCB-v0.2-20110415.png|the PCB]] as described above and ordered a prototype from [http://www.spiritcircuits.com/services/go-naked Spirit Circuits] again.
