I used two PCA9634s and four LM324s just to simplify the routing because initially I figured a two layer board would be simpler to design for personally.
## Revisions ##
### Revision A ###
This was the first revision of the board, had a bunch of issues to fix, a lot of them dumb.
### Revision B ###
The main issue with this revision was lack of resistors in front of the BJTs, so it would pull too much current and overheat the PCA9634s.
### Revision C ###
An issue with the opamp stuff, if you had too high a value for the potentiometre, it would overdrive the BJTs and wreck the opamp.
### Revision D ###
Probably the last revision, unless I decide to completely redo it to make it nicer or put it on a 4 layer board to reduce the size.
## Errata ##
- Consider Rev A and Rev B unusable versions of this board.
