OK guys - so far it's;

Walter wants the BASIC Stamp type layout with header pads down both sides for a Stamp type board that can be inserted directly into a breadboard.

I prefer the board with header pads around the processor in a square type arrangement like an Explorer16 type PIM module - with an area large enough to place a small breadboard on top of the solder pad area.

That's 1 to 1, so we need at least one more vote to tip-the-scales, and we'll go with that design factor.

I've already started the board design, but have to wait for the final vote before moving on - so let me know ASAP.

I can have the board design ready long before we get the PIC32 controllers.
