"Awesome guys. Ive now got some pointers to work on.
I just got one question thou, did I do the right thing by not using the inbuilt PDB? I used the cables to try and reduce the EMI. Or can I negate pretty much everything by just adding ground…"

1) Cool, I may just do that with the bullet connectors, I only put them there for servicability.
