Today I went sorting through some USB cables, but before I could test anything, I had to solder the third and last of the boards that I had ordered years ago. The micro-B USB socket held for 15 cables before I had to add glue because it got loose [log for board 2]. So I decided to update some parts on the PCB and shift things around.
- USB-A + micro/mini Sockets are turned 90 degrees, so you can test shorter cables
- additional USB-B connector so you can test A-B cables
- button is now a 6mm x 6mm sized one
- LEDs all point in the same direction and are marked, good for soldering
- Attiny13 was chosen as the firmware size is sub 1kB [[1kB challenge contest]]
- swapped to SMD coin cell holder
- changed micro-B footprint for something with 4 prongs
Check out this old space ship of a schematic:
And here is the (hopefully improved) new schematics, I think it's more readible, but not everyone is a fan of too many labels.
There's still one pin left on the Attiny, anyone any ideas for it?
