Tested at 14 volts today, still going with no problems. So it's looking like everything is good enough to go ahead and make the first real PCB for this thing and start soldering together a finished product this Friday.

Thats one positive thing about not using the arduino... you can use a better voltage regulator. With my prototype i felt that the arduino board got very hot after about 10 mins of testing plugged into the truck. I will have to whip up an external regulator. Glad to hear its going well for ya.

LOL, yep, I have slipped into troll mode for sure. Just don't see me being able to put together one of these myself and he has all the parts in place, So I figure if I keep suggesting it maybe it will slip into the final design. lol

Tested on car power, passed! Wipers, windows, blinkers, brakes, anything to make noise and/or spikes was used, and it was solid.

I still don't see where the cnc is necessicary... Transfer, etch, drill... I get that cnc is more precise, but the time it takes to set something like that up is pretty crazy isn't it? I could see if you were doing 1000 of them or something...
