I'm going to order a new version of the spacer, driver, and base board. Here's what's changed:

I haven't ordered yet, so it's not too late to suggest other changes or give advice on this version!

Wow, thanks! :D Those contacts would really come in handy!
you should ask @Drew Fustini from @oshpark for a coupon on Friday to try it again :D
Oh that's right! I don't think he got a chance to see this in person yet!
Oh! I saw this on Twitter but didn't realize it was you. Yeah, definitely happy to give you coupons! You'll be bringing it to xHain? -Drew
Learnt a new term today, thanks. I see you don't have the elevated circular blocking disc that prevents the driven wheel from drifting in between steps. Will watch with interest.
Keen eye! I left indentations in the wheel so I can eventually add a blocking peg later down the line. Maybe I can make that out of LEDs, too, hehe.

Awesome! Way to get super weird with PCBs! I'm working through prototype of similar concepts (though I hadn't though of the Geneva wheel). One thing I'm absolutely loving in my designs are these 1.5mm spring contacts. They actual between 0.75-2.00mm making them perfect to sit between one spacer thickness of PCB.
