It's not quite arduino pin comaptible - right? Why not make it compatible to benefit from documentation and shield compatability.
I didn't see a communications port - why not put in a 6 pin header to fit a standard USB-ttl serial cable? Don't forget the power selection and auto-reset.
Maybe those would be options from your basic design.

Regards communications port, I included a small layout diagram (last picture above) that shows how to wire up a 6pin isp, but didn't actually wire it up in the photos....but will certainly included it fully in V2.
Rearguards making it Arduino shield compatible, Im really not sure if its possible to do this with stripborad, as the arduino pins don't share the standardised pin spacing......but if there is a way round it, that would be amazing!!!

Hi, n00b, these offset headers were created to align the offset Arduino pins with a standard stripboard. You could use them "in reverse" to make a standard stripboard align to the Arduino offset measurements. The 0.16" offset spacing is probably close enough to 0.15" (1-1/2 pins distance) to work Ok.
Will test it out and see if it works, my only concern is the offset starts about a mm down the leg....this may result in a wonky shied, but that what development is for!
Ha! Even after all the grief I gave you when you just joined the forum -- made you think about programming instead of just handing you the answers for free?
Seriously, it's good to see you posting again, even if it is on a hardware issue.

;D ;D ;D
still cant program to save my life, but at least iv got a book on C, and arduino code to check befor i post on here now!
