Tachometer board has been ordered

Last night, I managed to get the tachometer programming and circuit all figured out.  Before I knew it, I had the schematic and then the board laid-out.

After about two hours of playing around with the schematic and moving the components around on the board, I decided I was done.  I then placed an order with BatchPCB.  This board is 1.17x1.54 inches, and cost $4.51 each with a $10 handling fee.

I also placed an order with Digi-Key which contained the gear tooth sensor which will be mounted within the gear box of the mini mill.  That order is below.
