Derogee's design, this is to accommodate through the hole components,
rather than surface mount. He has managed to keep it as small as it is
by having the resistors "stand up" rather than "lay flat". This is
one
of the questions I have for those interested in the boards. What is the
preference. I personally would prefer them to lay flat, even though it
will result in a larger circuit board, as this will make it easier to
solder. It might also be worth while to allow more space between
components.
I don't like standing resistors, myself. They look sloppy, and
they're vulnerable. It's not a showstopper either way, though.
Another question is about an enclosure for the board,
should we decided
on the enclosure first, and the board be designed to fit it, or just get
the board done, and let everyone come up with their own enclosures.
I'll probably build my own anyway, no no preference.
