XO Stick

Assembly notes

- LEDs are polarized, flat side should be down (towards big USB port) - Zener diodes are polarized, make the black stripe match the stripe on the board

Would be nice to eventually have an assembly guide as detailed as the one for http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10547

C. Scott's other notes

Notes on v5:

- ATtiny261A should be at least ATtiny461a if not ATtiny861a, since USB library takes up 2496 bytes.

- full size USB convert to mini or micro? (no through-hole micro-B connectors?)

- LED1/LED2 need better polarity mark (flat side is down, towards big usb port)

- use '-kit' suffixed versions of footprints (solder mask on component side)

- break off tab appears to work well.

- island between tabs should be anchored to body, not tabs?

- can we avoid anchors on break off tabs, instead use central anchor?

where T indicates tabs.

- remove symmetry from USB connector placement to allow two tabs on XOrduino board. (ie, move connector all the way down)
