 2009.06.01
 - keithp wants a compass ... HMC5843
+
+2010.10.30
+- v0.1 boards arrived
+
+  issues:
+       - holes for the LCD leads are too small
+               - for prototypes, workaround is remove pins from LCD module
+                 and use wire-wrap wire to connect the 14 leads
+
+       - footprint for U17 (audio amp) is too wide .. need narrower SOIC 8
+               - for prototypes, existing footprint will work with careful
+                 placement of the part and/or hand soldering after reflow
+
+2010.10.31
+- loaded and reflowed two boards
+
+       - some silkscreen work is in order .. U1/U2 refdes could be better
+         positioned .. spots on IC's marking pin 1 should be outside chip
+
+       - tqfp footprint for tiny48 seems "largeish" .. not fatally, but 
+         leaves me questioning a bit
+
+       - kapton paste mask worked, but was harder to use than stainless
+
+2010.11.22
+- notes from initial turn on before I forget
+
+       - the footprint for the AVR ICSP connector is mirror-imaged!
+
+       - it's easy to crowbar the 3.3V rail by over-driving the audio amp.
+         can we run it from unregulated lipo instead?  Would be nice to do
+         that, then crank up the gain.
+
+2011.03.14
+- if we move off speaker to an earphone jack, perhaps DK CP-3523SJCT-ND ?
+
+2011.05.05
+- be nice if the cheaper version could fit in Mouser 546-1591XXATBU, which is
+  the translucent blue Hammond 1591XXATBU
+
+- the new 2x16 displays Keith plans to test might all best be installed using
+  double sided foam tape, like DK 3M4008-ND, which is 1/8" thick and 1" wide.
