switch ic's
i switched the ic's to more solderable ones, the buck converters are 2a now but it should be fine, i might add some sensors to it too, just like the handheld node.

polish up pcb
made pcb better by using thicker traces for power rails and such
the board has lots of mounting holes for rack enclosure
i hope the rack doesnt melt
the size will probably be 1U or 2U depending on heatsinks

make pcb cheaper
if i use parts i already have i can save a lot of money
i finished changing the parts to ones i already have
pcb is a lot cheaper now
i only need to pay for the small parts and the parts that are difficult to solder by myself

Routed PCB
routed pcb, need to fix usb position soon
breakout pins available for external modules and such
on-board gps module
probably going to be a 'client base'
acting as a personal base station for other devices
