Following delivery of the new back-lit decals, a rather significant delivery arrived from PCB Cart with the Version 2 rear PCBs and additional two testing sets of remaining boards, giving me now 3 full sets of test boards and cables to play with. My focus therefore turned to testing the new rear PCB, which had a number of alterations to correct input routing and signal conditioning errors present in V1, preventing me from testing several features. Along with the new boards, I has also designed a relatively simple testing board, bringing all of the simulated control signals from a messy breadboard full of jumper cables and loose earths to a proper board with nice clean signals. In my rush to design it I had made a couple of silly errors in the design that required a little bit of re-wiring of the underside but after a some time, I managed to successfully test all outputs as working correctly. The next phase was to test each function one by one, buy opening up my partially developed Ard
