I got the PCB's in the mail the other day, and finally had a chance to test them out.

They turned out pretty good for my first try. I was kinda unsure how to do the routing, so I left myself alot of space, and consequently wasted a ton of space, and the boards ended up pretty big. I also didn't quite understand the silkscreen, and so none of the terminals are labelled!
However, all that said, I soldered all my parts in really quickly, and it worked on the first try! Wow! Not only that, but it was *so* much faster to assemble this than my breadboard mess. This is just great. I think I'll never do a breadboard jumper mess again!
Because this board is different than the Electrocookie I used before, I had to change my design for the 3d printed box, but I knew that would have to happen. Once I finish printing, I'll post a fully assembled pic and build instructions, and update the BOM.
