    Looked at the silkscreen file and I had pulled up the wrong file in gerber view. Here is what the correct silkscreen looks like:

      Done! Sent the files to Itead for processing :-)

      Lets see if the boards work when they come back!

      Thanks for all your help @Samuel235 and @scalz

        managed to add the OSH and mysensors silkscreen I was thinking. Here is the final silkscreen...

          Received an update from Itead. Everything looks good in gerber files. They have sent it to fab.

          Now the wait starts...

                Damn! Just realized some of my parts are still not in....

                Anyways, looking at the PCB,

                1. I think some of the text is just too small, like the cap values and OSH silkscreen. I need to make them bigger if I do a next rev.
                2. The mounting holes are a little too big. This is lightweight PCB and should not need heavyduty M3 screw. I could probably go with smaller mounting holes.
                3. Some silkscreen on the back would be nice...else it just looks naked :-)

                      do you already have a BOM? and is there chance to help you out? I would be willing to assemble one or two of the boards :bowtie:
