Subject: [alt-beam] Hextiles. Flathead(as shown in solarbotics)
If you want to ceck if you resized the hextile board you printed out to the
right size, try sticking a 74xx14 DIP chip into the socket thats printed on
the paper. Essentially try to see if the pins on the chip line up with the
wholes on the paper. The hextiles are smaller than people I belive think.
Your measurment sounds fine.
