It does get hot even on 2s that's why I added the heatsink on the PCB as I was concerned at its temp when on the prototype board

Looking good Ziddan, can I ask where you ordered your PCB's, if you would recommend them and roughly what it cost?

When I looked originally as it had multiple layers the PCB was coming in quite expensive, I ordered a lot of components but life got in the way and I never did finish drawing a TCB based PCB that avoided the extra layers.

I might just go with Baldricks design if the cost is acceptable.

JLCPCB, as linked in the info file, i think i got some sorta deal, either it was a campaign or maybe it was because i was a new customer, totalled €3.52 just for five shipped boards, which was a pleasant surprise.

Took a week or two, highly recommended.

I ordered a second 2560 mini to solder up another with the arduino sitting below the shield to see if i can save some space in my Pz2F that way.

That was super-cheap! They often have a deal for new users, I have used them before and I was sure when I tried it it was coming out at €50 or something for Baldricks PCB, I need to try again clearly!

EDIT: Ok without being logged in, its showing me $7 and when logged in the same plus $3 for shipping.
