If you end up adding solder jumpers to allow people to select alternative addresses on the bottom of the card - could it be worth adding in surface mount pads (or unpopulated footprint for a connector) for the remaining PWM pins so you could use the full chip without daisy chain if you want to solder, or get a second one for easy of use headers?

I’ll go you one better and add one of these on :point_down: A 4-pole DIP switch will mean up to 4 modules can sit on the same bus.

That’s an interesting idea! Space will be tight but see how we go.
