I like having some connectors on the edge of the board (now on the right) which allow me to connect a ribbon cable or another board using male/female pin headers. It's common on many PCBs, just not the Protoplus, so I'm implemented it here.

See I was just going at maybe if you're running out of room, you can get another board and do what you need to do, the add more pin headers and daisy chain if you would have too.

Hey Sonic,
I'm not sure you know that this sits on top of the Propeller Platform, and another board can be added on top of that for more I/O's. Many I/O's abound.
If you already knew that, then tell me to shut up.

Oh, I i didn't realize it sat on top of the board. Well that changes then what I said because it would already have the necessary holes for daisy chaining. Well alright, thanks a bunch Jim.

@Publison By board I meant propeller platform. Im using one of those from gadget gangster actually! And I didn't realize he was using the protoplus module either. So he's using that with the servo board?

It looks like it is an add-on the the Propeller Platform, the Proto Plus is an option if you need addition real estate on top of the Servo/Sesor board.

Jim
So is the servo board bigger than the platform or is it one of those square sized modules?
Yes, the servo/sensor board is designed to be longer on one end so it can be sandwiched between other boards and still get your servos/sensors plugged in.

You're getting the picture..

Hey I am getting the picture! It makes sense now. So did you get the kinks out?
Yes, It's under a "peer review" right now and then it'll be ready to send out to production to have the PCBs made.

Jeff,
On the back side of the board, I see mostly two island and a couple of three island thermals for ground. A four island thermal would be better and wouldn't take up any more space.
Since you have your board done and a large copper fill on the bottom, you can put text and graphics into the mask layer so that it shows up as silver against green -- looks really cool.

@John, I'm trying to work in Jon's cap idea. Looks like it should sit across Vin/Gnd.

Jim
That's the last bit I'm working on now... Great suggestion.. thanks!
Oh, and I'm adding a thick line on the top mask which indicates the power rail so it's visible.
