Wish list:
* 20 channels (or more, I just happen to need 20)
* Super small, like 2.5" x 1" - room for servo connectors and a few SMD bits (2.5 x 1.5 max)
* Support for up to 115200 baud
* Serial protocol supports 1-microsecond (or .5) resolution
* Servo pulse width steady to .5 microseconds (minimal jitter w/ high-end servos)
* Screw terminals for servo power input (or, big thru-holes)
* Super-thick traces on both sides of the board for servo power & ground
Bonus features:
* Extra status LEDs (logic power, servo power, good/bad command, right/wrong baud rate)
* Serial-controlled on/off switch for the servo power supply (so I can programmatically turn on the servos, AFTER the logic is all initialized, and turn them off as appropriate)
* AVR chip, 6-pin ICSP socket (or something smaller?)
* Provides logic and servo voltages (and total servo current?) via serial upon request
* 20 channels (or more, I just happen to need 20)
