| warren | "It has five holes. The Fritzing diagram was a crude reproduction by me, so it's not likely to be accurate. The Eagle files are from Visualight; the..." | Read more » | almost 11 years ago | |||

| warren | "Sure, that'd be interesting. Do you think Don's are too complex? You know, I'm not sure what the spacing is on the Visualight. Do you think you co..." | Read more » | almost 11 years ago | |||

| donblair | "Alright, I've changed the design to use a 32u4 processor (like the Leonardo), based on the Adafruit Flora schematic. The layout isn't quite finish..." | Read more » | about 11 years ago | |||
