The finished product (so far) looks about as nice as I had hoped!
Now, when I got the boards, I immediately noticed a serious problem. Most of the pins are not plated. See here:
I decided to assemble a board anyway though. I can desolder the components later (The components used here are already desoldered from another board I made XD). I can also correct for the lack of copper manually for now, just to test the boards to know I don't have any other design issues.
I tried to solder wires to these pins, but without metal on the sides, he wires easily pulled up the pads. I'll have a board to test with soon though, so I'm going to wait for that, then I can see if I have any other design flaws.
I expect to make a board rev in the coming week or two.
