As a result of talking to a friend online about some electronics stuffs, I decided this is what I need to do:<\/p>\n<p>Breadboard the whole damn thing, so that changes and new features are easy to implement, and I can work around the inverted data problem more easily. It really is the &#8220;proper&#8221; way, as opposed to what I did before: come up with what I think should work and spend time hand-etching a PCB.<\/p>\n<p>So, today I went ahead and ordered a batch of new parts, including some I&#8217;ll need for assembling the final boards, some I want to try (different FETs, dual optoisolator) instead of the current design, and a few other things. When the parts arrive I&#8217;ll breadboard it all, get it working, ensure that my schematic matches, then order the prototype boards.<\/p>\n<p>That same friend also helped me out a bit with the use of FETs for current reversal protection, triggering LEDs, and a few other things. That was really, really helpful.<\/p>\n<p>Advanced Circuits credits one back the price of bare-bones prototype PCBs (no soldermask or silkscreen) when production boards are ordered, so this should work out well. I also won&#8217;t have to  deal with etching a board by hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After feeling kinda crappy about my current project last night I ended up going to bed and laying there for a while thinking about things.
