    Aux audio output pads removed, and the 5V/GND pads moved 2mm toward the PCB edge to allow a screw terminal.
  •   Gerber zip file Rev D
    Adds 3.5mm lead spacing for caps C3 and C4, which allows the specified Panasonic EEU-FR1A102L to properly sit on the PCB.
  •   Gerber zip file Rev C
    Includes pads for polycarbonate MKC caps (27.5mm lead space radial).
  •   Gerber zip file Rev B Standard PCB as pictured.
