Hi Mike, I finally got my kit installed. Great job putting this
together, I'm impressed! Just a few things I noticed while going
through the assembly:

- Solder points and traces are fairly small / thin. I actually ended
up having to repair one hole that had folded over on itself during
manufacturing. I would suggest making the traces just a little
beefier since there's plenty of real estate to do so.

- Jumpers below note 2 in Appendix A are pretty close together. I
know you've modified the layout for the ones by note 1 already, but
these seem to have a similar problem. Is it possible to do a double
sided board to eliminate these jumpers? I think it would give a much
cleaner layout and it would definitely make contruction easier.

- There is no mention of installing the battery in the instructions.
I know this is obvious to most, but it may be helpful to note that the
kit will not work without a battery installed.

Other than a couple small hiccups, I'd say it went pretty smoothly.
Still trying to figure out the best way to mount the board in there.

Thanks again! I'll let you know how everything else works out once I
play with it some more ;)
