Lyle:

Rather than having future legions of Pinocchio-ers cut bunches of little 
pieces of wire, couldn't we rev the board to use the common single row 
headers? Much quicker and easier and they can be cut to length so that 
people can omit (like you) the power connections if desired.

But more importantly..... In my original post, I mentioned that when 
Pinocchio is plugged into Atlas, the Pinocchio silkscreening seems upside 
down with respect to Atlas silkscreening. Can you verify that I constructed 
everything correctly? If so, although the electrons won't care, the 
humanstrying to read upside down silkscreening might.

When I build and have to clip leads on resistors and capacitors, I save
the clipped leads.

When I built Pinocchio, I just used those clipped leads.

I put *nothing* in the locations for power supply voltages - I just
probe them with a voltmeter to be sure the voltages are what I expect.

I use wire loops instead of terminals so I can easily use a 'scope
probe, logic analyzer, etc.  The pads were not designed for terminals.
