I have the shield completed for Duemilanove/Uno, but I'll have to spend some time to create one for the MEGA. I'll get around to it when time permits and definitely design it with the recommendations from that previous post.

that's strange I pay using paypal and email them with the gerber files 2 days ago and still haven't got a response to say they have received the files

All I can say is try again. I've never had a problem with them not responding.
I wouldn't worry too much. I've found boxes of PcB's laying at my front door before I got the Email confirmation that they'd been shipped! LOL.

rrasco, and O2surplus, thank you for all your work on this project. I just ordered my ldd1000h drivers, and working on ordering other needed parts for the board. What part do i need to order for the jumpers on the ldd-hx4 v3.0? I found the resistors, 8 position pheonix, and dip socket, but not sure what to search for the jumper pins.

ok, i should have been looking for headers. I found "break away headers" that look like they should do the job.
Look for "snap-able" 40 position male pin headers with .1" spacing. Most any website that sells Arduino related products will have them. Look for something like this- http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/TS-132-G-A/SAM1111-32-ND/1105430
and use jumpers like these-http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/71363-102LF/609-2462-ND/1002777

Thanks for the reply, the ones i ordered are .1" spacing so that is good. I have a ton of jumpers lying around from years of IT work. I ordered these https://www.sparkfun.com/products/117
Once all the parts arrive i will post some build pictures. I am figuring a couple weeks for all the parts to make it. I did the slow shipping from iteadstudio. And still have to decide what leds to order.

I am in the same situation like supercat. I emailed them the files but have not received anything. Let's hope for the best.
I ordered my original set (Revision 2 with the corrected screen) a week before we ordered a second set with upgraded shipping. The new board design showed up earlier this week. The older one showed up today, so I guess the "upgraded" shipping is only about a week upgraded.
The also shipped me 11 PCBs instead of 10.
Now I've got 8 extras lying around that I might let go.
Also, I've been told that by adding a 10k resistor to the -Vin it does the same thing as adding the jumpers. Do I understand this correctly?

Came today, ship notice 3/22/2013...LDD's arriving tomorrow, what timing :bounce1:
