Been thinking about the easiest way to convert my analogue slave boards to digital, so that I can implement the analogue digital slave software and maybe later full digital software. First, a repost of the 2 schematics for the different boards.

Normally to convert the boards would require moving components R11,U4 and J5, on the analogue schematic, to position R1,U3 and J2 on the digital schematic. But I think I can do the same thing by just adding J2 to my analogue slave boards, but connecting it to position U3, pins 4&5 as shown on the digital schematic. The isolation board to board is preserved and should run any digital software unmodified. If I have made a mistake in my thinking here, please let me know.
