Yes, well said Bhatnagar jee,
Adrian has definitely struggled (played) around the design to present his
end product. while there are umpkeen EDA packages in the world for PCB,
re-inventing the wheel is waste of time.
Let us make or buy the pcb using his pretty artwork and progress realizing
Farhan's *Minima.*
