Thanks!

Thanks, Oliver. Tolerances, I understand. I'm an engineer, just not a EE. Good to know that "pretty close" also counts in the electronics world sometimes. It's also good to know that I've built the board correctly up to this point! This is my first real soldering project, and I must say I'...
