Update 10/5/15

SMD parts for testing (ADC, DAC, amplifier, digital isolator) have been mounted to SMD converter boards and are ready for microcontroller based testing.  Once the microcontroller comes in, I will be able to test the function of these parts to ensure that they are compatible and give me adequate results.  Making sure the ADC and DAC work properly with the microcontroller over the SPI bus is one of the most important parts of making this system work, so this part is a priority.  Testing of the high power circuitry cannot begin until the heatsinks are in and until I have the constructed toroidal transformer core.
