Hi John,
 
thanks for the feedback,
 
I will add pullups to P6, P7 on U6
I also will use the second MMV as suggested ( I didnt think of doing that )
Jumper block K3 sets the input voltage to the second regulator depending on 
if a 7812 regulator or a LM3940 (3.3v) regulator is used, K4 sets the LED 
bias current depending on if we have a 12v or 3.3v output voltage.
 
It has also ocurred to me to bring the INT* signal to connector P7 as it 
might be needed for some projects
 
I will make changes over the weekend and report back
 
regards
 
David Fry
