Egor Testing

[David Chambers]

I would be able to produce some prototype PCB's as well. I am going to be
sending in a panel of protypes for work within the next week or so and could
easiliy add a couple of EGOR boards on at no cost as we pay for the full
panel regardless of how much we use. The problem may be that I am in
Australia and the sensors are a bit hard to get. Although I could easiliy
slip a board in an envelope and send it to the states. The other question I
have is has anyone made any corrections or additions to the original zipped
up details that Bruce released? Maybe someone who has built a working unit
could update the schematic and I could then produce a protel circuit and
PCB.
