PCB layout

The original PCB layout files will not be made public, but this page shows an overview of the design and some pictures of the prototype. Unfortunately I already found a mistake after the PCBs were ordered. The pins that physically support the SMD USB connector do not have solder mask openings. But this can be fixed without much trouble.

The prototype arrived May 23th 2007, and seems to be produced fine:

Here the unwanted solder mask on the USB connector side pads can be seen:
