Egodriver - help

Hi guys,
it's my first post here, I'm pretty new to the diy thing but I've already built the TS.
Now I'm planning to build the egodriver, but looking carefully into the instructions I have some problems in understanding it.
The layouts on the first and third page are different. Which is the correct one? For example, components are placed in different orders and on the etching layout there are two holes for the ground connection, which are not there in the first page layout. How would I have to wire that? I've looked into a lot of wiring diagrams, but nothing seems to help.
Can anyone help me with that?

Thanks a lot,
M.

p.s. I'm writing from Italy, so please forgive my grammar/spelling errors!

did you buy a pcb from madbean? if so, use the first layout.

if you are using an etched board use the second layout.

hope that helps.

Hello,
yep that helps a lot. Thank you very much.
Actually I'm planning to etch my own board, so I'll have to use the second layout. But actually my doubts are about the wiring: in the second layout, there are two connections named "ground", so how should I wire everything? I mean, I've taken a look to the wiring diagrams posted here and on other websites, but I can't figure out the way I should wire everything in this case with two connections named ground.

Ciao,
M.

it's just an extra ground pad in case you need it.
for example you can use it to ground the dc socket but you dont have to.

Ok, thank you very much!
So it doesn't really matter which pad I connect the ground to, does it?

Exactly.
Ground is ground  :)
