Mark, Going from 36 sq-in to 18 sq-in is a big improvement for us. We'll be using it on an underwater vehicle, and space is a premium. Your idea for a smaller WBX board is cool, but would be a lot of work. -William On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 11:44 AM, Mark J. Blair wrote: > > On Aug 30, 2010, at 8:

Right now I'm thinking the easiest thing would be to keep everything the same, except remove the 2nd mixed-signal chip, and move the power circuit off the board. So, yes, same form factor for daughterboard connections. -William On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 11:14 AM, Mark J. Blair wrote: > > On Aug 3
