Had a problem with my Ardumega board. called Martin he said come round when i'm free and let's get the problem sorted out. Went to his place spent 2 hours with him testing. Found the problem was a faulty component. Used the board from his fully working quad gave me the choice either take a new one to solder or have his. I said i'll have your's :) I now have a fantastically working arduquad. This is what customer service should be like. Excellent and i will use Matrtint again without any hesitation. See you at DZ2.

Many Thanks Paul.
