    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

              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:
