Project now completed, design not as requested. It needed to operate on battery and this was not how he designed it (it was a major request outlined at start).
Also made a mistake with ic footprint size, as a result I had to fix it and reorder the PCB's an extra cost of $32.
On top of that, he was rude to treat me as stupid.
I will repost this project and hopefully get someone that can do better. disappointed.
